  What's going on, everybody?
• 0:30
  Welcome to the original
• 0:34
  Sunday Night CrossFit Talk
• 0:36
  with Carolyn Prevost, Jamie Latimer,
• 0:37
  and myself.
• 0:39
  We're so pumped to be here.
• 0:40
  Thank you, everybody, for jumping in.
• 0:44
  Before we get into the
• 0:44
  nitty-gritty of things that
• 0:46
  are going on CrossFit-wise,
• 0:49
  Jamie and I talked about
• 0:50
  Reacher for a long time.
• 0:52
  I went back and watched the
• 0:53
  Tom Cruise movies this week.
• 0:55
  Oh, nice.
• 0:55
  I'd never seen them.
• 0:57
  Oh.
• 0:58
  I watched Reacher the show
• 0:59
  and never the movies.
• 1:01
  The movies are just as good as the show.
• 1:03
  Yeah.
• 1:06
  You kind of like looking
• 1:07
  back and now this new actor,
• 1:09
  it makes you like, man,
• 1:10
  you could have gotten
• 1:10
  someone a little better
• 1:12
  than Tom Cruise to play Reacher,
• 1:13
  but he did a good job.
• 1:16
  He did a fine job playing him.
• 1:18
  He just is not tall enough.
• 1:20
  Yes.
• 1:20
  To be that intimidating person.
• 1:22
  Yes.
• 1:23
  That was the only misstep with the movies.
• 1:29
  And then we dove into the
• 1:30
  new show on Apple TV called Bad Monkey.
• 1:32
  I have not heard of this.
• 1:36
  Okay.
• 1:40
  So good, but it is old school.
• 1:43
  They're only releasing one episode a week.
• 1:47
  Oh, so like we are at a,
• 1:50
  there's only three episodes out.
• 1:52
  There's 10 and we are like
• 1:54
  stuck until Wednesday till
• 1:57
  they release the next one.
• 1:59
  Yes, Wadsami, I've seen Ted Lasso.
• 2:02
  So the people behind Ted
• 2:04
  Lasso are part of Bad Monkey.
• 2:07
  Okay.
• 2:09
  It's also the people from Scrubs.
• 2:13
  They're behind this Bad Monkey,
• 2:14
  and it's a detective police
• 2:18
  kind of whodunit mystery
• 2:21
  with a lot of quirkiness,
• 2:23
  like Ted Lasso or Scrubs or whatever.
• 2:26
  It is so stinking good.
• 2:31
  Is it only on Apple TV?
• 2:33
  It is.
• 2:34
  It's exclusive to them.
• 2:36
  Well, I won't be watching it.
• 2:39
  So, yeah.
• 2:43
  So that's that.
• 2:44
  And then one update on me,
• 2:46
  and then we'll talk about
• 2:46
  how your guys' week has went.
• 2:49
  Last week,
• 2:49
  I said to everybody that I was
• 2:50
  off on my antihistamines
• 2:52
  because I was being tested
• 2:53
  for my allergies.
• 2:54
  That test went down,
• 2:56
  finally figured out what I'm allergic to,
• 2:59
  which is my dog.
• 3:02
  And I have rhino something
• 3:05
  or other that makes me like
• 3:07
  really allergic to grasses, molds,
• 3:11
  leaves.
• 3:13
  Basically,
• 3:13
  I need to go move and live on the moon.
• 3:18
  Does your dog shed a lot?
• 3:21
  So my allergy isn't just a hair.
• 3:24
  It is saliva and urine and
• 3:28
  all of that stuff.
• 3:29
  So I'm starting
• 3:31
  immunotherapy in two and a half weeks,
• 3:34
  and I'm doing the first
• 3:35
  three months in five hours.
• 3:39
  So I will sit in the office
• 3:41
  getting three months of
• 3:42
  shots every 20 minutes for
• 3:45
  five hours to get the first
• 3:47
  three months in to get some relief.
• 3:50
  And then I'll have to do
• 3:51
  like a shot a week for the
• 3:53
  rest of the year.
• 3:55
  And then like every other
• 3:56
  week and then eventually
• 3:58
  monthly and eventually
• 3:59
  won't need it anymore.
• 4:03
  That would be good.
• 4:04
  At least you got some answers.
• 4:06
  They changed my allergy medicine,
• 4:08
  which is helping.
• 4:09
  So I'm on Zizel.
• 4:11
  If you have never taken it,
• 4:14
  take it at night before you
• 4:15
  go to bed because you will be groggy,
• 4:18
  groggy, groggy.
• 4:21
  So exactly like Benadryl.
• 4:25
  Yeah.
• 4:26
  But, um,
• 4:28
  nothing better than to get a
• 4:29
  medicine that makes you
• 4:30
  groggy right before you're
• 4:31
  going to do a behind the
• 4:32
  scene of a major event.
• 4:35
  Um, so, um,
• 4:37
  I'm hoping there's some coffee
• 4:39
  tents down there and we,
• 4:42
  I just jam on some caffeine, but, um,
• 4:46
  yeah so but we have an
• 4:48
  answer finally after three
• 4:49
  years I finally felt like
• 4:51
  someone cared about what I
• 4:53
  was talking about and dug
• 4:55
  deep enough to find out
• 4:56
  what the issue was so yeah
• 5:02
  so your guys's week how's it been
• 5:06
  Busy, man.
• 5:07
  Oh, my gosh.
• 5:08
  You have something coming up, Jamie?
• 5:10
  Yeah, something coming up.
• 5:11
  Something coming up for sure.
• 5:12
  Lucas had another tennis tournament,
• 5:14
  so that was my Thursday.
• 5:16
  We went to Chelsea,
• 5:18
  which is like 50 minutes away.
• 5:23
  So that was another quad, four teams.
• 5:26
  We were there from like 9 to
• 5:27
  – I think we got out of
• 5:30
  there at like 4.30 to 5.
• 5:34
  That's a long day.
• 5:35
  I know.
• 5:37
  Those quads are a long day.
• 5:42
  Of course,
• 5:43
  Jamie has a thing coming this week.
• 5:45
  Yeah, small thing.
• 5:46
  Small thing.
• 5:48
  Yeah, for me, it was training on Monday.
• 5:50
  Lex and I went to San Francisco.
• 5:53
  We were just tourists for the day.
• 5:56
  So we went at Pier 39 or something,
• 6:00
  and there was a bunch of things going on.
• 6:02
  that we did there so that
• 6:04
  was really fun and yeah
• 6:06
  other than that just
• 6:07
  basically chipping away at
• 6:08
  training and slowly getting
• 6:10
  ready for norcal in a few
• 6:12
  weeks so trying to enjoy
• 6:16
  the last few days that I
• 6:17
  have left in california so
• 6:19
  I leave on wednesday all
• 6:21
  right and jamie you leave
• 6:25
  for birmingham tuesday morning
• 6:29
  Tuesday morning.
• 6:30
  And Julie and I are leaving
• 6:31
  Tuesday evening.
• 6:34
  Nice.
• 6:37
  Are you going to drive
• 6:38
  straight through Tuesday evening?
• 6:40
  No, no.
• 6:42
  No,
• 6:42
  I'm just what I want to do is just at
• 6:44
  least get south of
• 6:45
  Cincinnati because traffic
• 6:46
  there is really bad in the morning.
• 6:48
  So just get through the
• 6:49
  other side of Cincinnati,
• 6:51
  wherever we stop in Kentucky is fine.
• 6:54
  And then I'll just go the
• 6:55
  rest of the way Wednesday morning.
• 6:57
  I think we're going to stop in Kentucky to,
• 6:58
  um, find a box,
• 7:01
  some somewhere to stop and
• 7:03
  move and then get dinner
• 7:05
  and stay the night and then
• 7:06
  get up in the morning and finish.
• 7:08
  Well, speaking of Kentucky, kind of,
• 7:10
  I got news today that my
• 7:11
  gym is being sold.
• 7:13
  Yeah.
• 7:14
  Um, and they, my owners,
• 7:17
  Christie and Patrick
• 7:18
  O'Connell met in Louisville,
• 7:19
  Kentucky and moved up to
• 7:21
  Columbus where Christie's
• 7:23
  parents owned a gym.
• 7:24
  They bought into that gym
• 7:26
  and now the four of them
• 7:27
  are selling it off.
• 7:29
  Um, but they said that September 1st,
• 7:32
  they will no longer be owners,
• 7:33
  but they will be members of the gym.
• 7:35
  They will be attending
• 7:36
  classes just like they always have.
• 7:38
  They're going to continue to
• 7:40
  be a part of the community,
• 7:41
  but they're just in a
• 7:42
  different phase of their
• 7:42
  life and didn't want to own
• 7:45
  the gym anymore.
• 7:47
  So, um,
• 7:48
  but two families from the gym
• 7:50
  community are buying it.
• 7:53
  So it's kind of staying in the family.
• 7:56
  Um,
• 7:56
  and they've just recently put in a ton of,
• 8:00
  uh, work on it, repainted the building,
• 8:03
  fixed everything, um,
• 8:06
  invested in new equipment.
• 8:08
  Um, like it is brand new flooring.
• 8:11
  Um, it is a Mecca of fitness right now.
• 8:17
  Yeah,
• 8:17
  I'm assuming they're still going to
• 8:19
  continue their IBEX program.
• 8:21
  It looks like that's going
• 8:22
  really well for them,
• 8:23
  at least from the outside.
• 8:27
  But best of luck to them.
• 8:28
  Yeah.
• 8:30
  It's kind of sad,
• 8:31
  but they're still going to be there.
• 8:33
  Yeah.
• 8:34
  And, you know,
• 8:35
  they've taught all the
• 8:37
  people that are taking over.
• 8:39
  So, you know,
• 8:39
  I think it's going to have the same feel.
• 8:41
  We'll see.
• 8:42
  See how that goes.
• 8:46
  So we're going to start with
• 8:48
  the Masters stuff tonight,
• 8:50
  and then we'll get into
• 8:51
  some of the generic
• 8:53
  CrossFit stuff at the end of the show.
• 8:56
  But we wanted to start by
• 8:57
  the Masters CrossFit Games is next week.
• 9:01
  Well, this week, I guess,
• 9:02
  if you count Sunday,
• 9:03
  the start of the week.
• 9:05
  It begins on Thursday and
• 9:06
  goes through Sunday.
• 9:08
  If you have not seen on her Instagram,
• 9:10
  Holly Dugan,
• 9:11
  the best stats and info
• 9:13
  person in the business,
• 9:15
  has put together schedules two ways.
• 9:19
  She has like an overall
• 9:20
  schedule of like days and times.
• 9:22
  And then if you want to just
• 9:24
  look at an age group,
• 9:25
  she now has that out for men and women.
• 9:28
  You just go up.
• 9:29
  And if you're like Jamie and
• 9:31
  you're a woman, 40 to 44,
• 9:33
  you can go to that page,
• 9:34
  see all of your heat times, bam,
• 9:36
  on one page.
• 9:38
  Amazing job that she's done with that.
• 9:41
  It's super, super, super clear.
• 9:42
  And yeah, great job.
• 9:43
  Thank you.
• 9:44
  Thank you for that.
• 9:46
  So those are out there on
• 9:48
  both mine and her Instagram page,
• 9:51
  DataWad or Clydesdale Media,
• 9:53
  if you want to check those out.
• 9:55
  And give Holly a shout out.
• 9:57
  She's the best there is.
• 9:59
  And I know a lot of people
• 10:00
  have already put hearts all over it,
• 10:02
  saying that they love it.
• 10:03
  It was the easiest way for
• 10:04
  them to see their schedule.
• 10:06
  So, yeah, super stoked for that.
• 10:10
  She impresses me every time.
• 10:11
  She just, like, sends me stuff.
• 10:13
  Mm-hmm.
• 10:14
  She sent me that this morning and said,
• 10:15
  Hey, do you like this?
• 10:16
  And I'm like, Oh my gosh, I love this.
• 10:18
  Get it out, get it out.
• 10:22
  So yeah, that is the best.
• 10:24
  The other thing that
• 10:25
  happened just a couple of
• 10:26
  days ago was that we got
• 10:30
  the workouts for masters.
• 10:32
  And so what I'm going to do
• 10:33
  now is I'm going to pull
• 10:35
  those up from their
• 10:36
  Instagram post and then we
• 10:39
  will go through those.
• 10:44
  And have Carolyn kind of dissect them.
• 10:49
  If Jamie wants to jump in, fine.
• 10:50
  If she doesn't want to give away secrets,
• 10:53
  she doesn't have to because
• 10:53
  she's competing.
• 10:55
  And she may want to keep
• 10:56
  that stuff to herself.
• 10:58
  I just got to say,
• 10:59
  I'm kind of bummed that they... Like,
• 11:02
  from our original heat schedule,
• 11:05
  it was supposed to be 3-2-3-2.
• 11:08
  So they essentially moved
• 11:09
  the snatch ladder from
• 11:11
  Sunday morning to...
• 11:14
  friday um I don't know I'm
• 11:17
  kind of bummed I don't like
• 11:18
  I don't know what prompted
• 11:20
  that whether it's like they
• 11:21
  wanted didn't want to make
• 11:23
  the cuts before yeah eight
• 11:26
  events and we're like well
• 11:27
  let's just put that
• 11:28
  strength event in there
• 11:29
  earlier in the week um or
• 11:30
  floor wise or what it was
• 11:32
  but like it is a little
• 11:33
  weird like I mean I think
• 11:34
  we always thought we were
• 11:34
  getting done at like four
• 11:35
  or five and now we're
• 11:36
  getting done at like noon
• 11:37
  and it's seems unnecessary
• 11:40
  Yeah,
• 11:40
  I did hear them say on the TEF
• 11:43
  podcast that they are
• 11:45
  cutting with just one workout to go.
• 11:47
  And that will be Sunday.
• 11:49
  And they've moved things around.
• 11:52
  So there's only one workout on Sunday now.
• 11:56
  So here we go.
• 11:57
  I'm going to go ahead and share this up.
• 12:02
  And bam, there we go.
• 12:04
  So event one is,
• 12:06
  now event one is not
• 12:08
  necessarily event one for
• 12:09
  everyone because there are
• 12:10
  three floors and they are rotating.
• 12:13
  One floor has a professional rig on it.
• 12:17
  One floor has an A-frame rig on it.
• 12:20
  And one floor has no rig on it.
• 12:23
  and they will rotate through those floors.
• 12:25
  So different age groups may
• 12:27
  have a different event one,
• 12:29
  but you'll do all these
• 12:30
  workouts if you are 35 to 54.
• 12:34
  55 and up will do eight of these workouts.
• 12:41
  So here we go.
• 12:41
  Event one,
• 12:42
  we'll just do them in order as
• 12:44
  they were released,
• 12:45
  just so there's no confusion.
• 12:47
  Event one, four rounds for time,
• 12:49
  600 meter run, round one, five deadlifts,
• 12:53
  round two, 10 deadlifts, round three,
• 12:56
  15 deadlifts, round four, 20 deadlifts.
• 12:59
  Time cap, 18 minutes.
• 13:02
  Barbell weight is 255 for men,
• 13:04
  180 for women.
• 13:06
  And I know that actually
• 13:07
  decreases as you go up in the age groups.
• 13:14
  i think this will I think
• 13:15
  this will be a good workout
• 13:16
  obviously some posterior
• 13:17
  chain lifting from the
• 13:18
  floor uh the women are
• 13:20
  doing 70 I think that's a
• 13:21
  weight that a lot of people
• 13:23
  can go unbroken for a lot
• 13:26
  of it um I think the run
• 13:28
  you'll start seeing some
• 13:29
  separation but if you are
• 13:32
  just doing quick sets on
• 13:33
  the deadlift I think that
• 13:34
  you're still in the game um for sure
• 13:37
  And yeah,
• 13:38
  I don't like that initial run out.
• 13:40
  After you do those deadlifts, you'll,
• 13:41
  you'll definitely feel your,
• 13:43
  your hammies being a little bit, um,
• 13:46
  sore and you get that high
• 13:46
  heart rate coming off the barbell.
• 13:48
  But I think this is a good test.
• 13:50
  I like this one.
• 13:51
  Um, I like this one a lot.
• 13:54
  Well,
• 13:54
  Carolyn would like this because it
• 13:56
  has deadlifts.
• 13:57
  Yeah.
• 13:57
  Like for me,
• 13:58
  it would be unbroken the whole way.
• 13:59
  If I'm being honest,
• 14:00
  it would be pretty easy at
• 14:01
  that weight for me.
• 14:02
  I'm broken the whole way.
• 14:03
  Um, I, I think the way it's appropriate,
• 14:06
  it's.
• 14:07
  It's not like super light
• 14:09
  where it becomes just a running workout.
• 14:12
  But it's not to the point
• 14:12
  where then people are stuck
• 14:14
  on the barbell as well.
• 14:15
  So I think the good runners
• 14:17
  can break up the deadlifts
• 14:18
  in small sets and still be in it.
• 14:20
  Just like the strong people
• 14:21
  can make up time on the
• 14:22
  deadlifts by being unbroken.
• 14:25
  So I think it's a good
• 14:27
  somewhat balanced test.
• 14:29
  So let me ask you this, Carolyn.
• 14:32
  the first two sets of
• 14:33
  deadlifts are meaningless.
• 14:35
  Am I, am I right?
• 14:37
  So it is just three 600 meter runs.
• 14:40
  Bang, bang, bang.
• 14:42
  When you get to the 15 and 20,
• 14:44
  that's where like,
• 14:45
  it may actually have a
• 14:46
  little bit of interference.
• 14:47
  Do you think that's enough
• 14:50
  to catch the best runners?
• 14:52
  I think it's going to come
• 14:53
  down to a better runner.
• 14:54
  If I'm being honest,
• 14:55
  I think a better runner
• 14:55
  will do with decent
• 14:58
  strength should do better.
• 15:03
  Yeah,
• 15:03
  I think you can make up more time on
• 15:05
  the run.
• 15:05
  Denise Moore, would you use a belt?
• 15:09
  Personally, no.
• 15:11
  Or really loose where you
• 15:13
  can just quickly tie it.
• 15:17
  I wouldn't put it on the
• 15:18
  ground and then re-put it on.
• 15:20
  So I have a belt that's very
• 15:22
  easy to do it loose.
• 15:23
  And I use that quite often.
• 15:25
  So if I do a belt, I would do that.
• 15:27
  And then just as you're done,
• 15:28
  loosen it up so you can breathe and run.
• 15:33
  Okay.
• 15:34
  I like that.
• 15:34
  It's really straightforward.
• 15:35
  Yeah.
• 15:37
  I think, I think for the top competitors,
• 15:39
  it will be unbroken though.
• 15:43
  Dex Hopkins,
• 15:44
  35 to 39 year old competitor
• 15:45
  says should be three 15
• 15:47
  says a Clydesdale.
• 15:51
  Yeah.
• 15:55
  Yeah.
• 15:55
  He wants interference before
• 15:57
  that run is possible.
• 15:59
  yeah he's got plenty of
• 16:02
  things in his wheelhouse
• 16:03
  this weekend this one
• 16:05
  needed to be around this
• 16:06
  weight all right let's go
• 16:10
  to event two event two is
• 16:12
  four rounds for time four
• 16:14
  rope climbs to 15 feet six
• 16:16
  sandbag cleans 150 and 100
• 16:17
  40 foot handstand walk time
• 16:18
  cap 12 minutes
• 16:27
  A little bit more gymnastics here.
• 16:29
  Another pulling movement
• 16:30
  from the floor from the sandbag cleans.
• 16:33
  I would like to see more handstand walk.
• 16:35
  I don't think that that's
• 16:35
  much for four rounds.
• 16:37
  I would have liked to have
• 16:38
  seen maybe more distance
• 16:42
  there for the younger age groups.
• 16:45
  But I like the SWAT.
• 16:48
  Again,
• 16:48
  posterior chain could be still tired
• 16:52
  from the first one.
• 16:54
  The sandbag cleans,
• 16:55
  I'm assuming you can go touch and go,
• 16:56
  or they might have sections for that.
• 17:02
  Four rope climbs for the men
• 17:04
  is different than four rope
• 17:05
  climbs in a row for females.
• 17:07
  I always find when we have
• 17:08
  the same amount of rope climbs,
• 17:11
  it's just much faster for
• 17:12
  the men to get through that.
• 17:14
  But the 150 to the 100 on the sandbag,
• 17:17
  I think it's heavier for
• 17:18
  the men than what it feels
• 17:20
  normally for the women.
• 17:21
  So maybe that
• 17:23
  is a small difference there.
• 17:24
  Um, yeah, this one's not bad.
• 17:27
  I would have liked to have
• 17:28
  seen more handstand walk
• 17:28
  maybe in this one.
• 17:31
  So my question on this one
• 17:33
  is you have an upper body pulling,
• 17:36
  you have a posterior chain to the top,
• 17:39
  and then you're going inverted.
• 17:41
  That's three very different tests in one.
• 17:44
  Um, what about the transitions?
• 17:49
  I mean,
• 17:49
  I think the handstand walk for that
• 17:51
  distance for most people is irrelevant.
• 17:53
  And timing wise,
• 17:54
  I don't think that that
• 17:55
  will really matter.
• 17:56
  I think the women can
• 17:57
  separate themselves on those rope climbs.
• 18:01
  And if they're able to go
• 18:02
  kind of down and up right
• 18:04
  away versus taking, let's say,
• 18:06
  two reps or three reps
• 18:07
  where you're going to touch
• 18:08
  and go and then needing to
• 18:09
  chalk for one more.
• 18:10
  I think for the women,
• 18:12
  it's more on the sandbag cleans and rope.
• 18:17
  like somewhere there.
• 18:18
  I don't think the handstand
• 18:19
  walk is relevant for most of the field.
• 18:22
  Although they had, I don't,
• 18:23
  have you guys had handstand walks, Jamie,
• 18:25
  so far in your season?
• 18:26
  I don't think you guys had
• 18:27
  anything in 25 feet, right?
• 18:30
  We had no handstand walking.
• 18:32
  Yeah.
• 18:33
  So, I mean, it's not, it's not,
• 18:36
  it's not a ridiculous amount.
• 18:37
  I don't think that should be
• 18:38
  an issue for anyone.
• 18:40
  It's, it's really come down, I think,
• 18:41
  to the rope climbs and just
• 18:44
  maintaining high heart rate
• 18:45
  during the workouts.
• 18:48
  Yeah.
• 18:48
  If it's going to be a grip test.
• 18:52
  Yes, there's grip,
• 18:53
  there's grip involved of the rope climb.
• 18:55
  I mean,
• 18:56
  if you can use your legs as much as
• 18:57
  possible to save your grip,
• 18:59
  but you're gripping there.
• 19:00
  And then initially that grip
• 19:01
  from the sandbag gets, um,
• 19:04
  gets grippy for sure.
• 19:06
  I think people underestimate
• 19:07
  how much grip is fatigued
• 19:10
  in either handstand pushups
• 19:11
  or handstand walking.
• 19:13
  Um,
• 19:15
  I've tested this workout.
• 19:16
  It's nasty.
• 19:17
  I think people are going to
• 19:18
  be shocked in round four.
• 19:22
  Yeah.
• 19:23
  I think this is one that
• 19:23
  people can blow up, um,
• 19:25
  early by pushing the pace too much.
• 19:27
  And then after that are
• 19:28
  needing to slow down significantly.
• 19:31
  I mean,
• 19:32
  Denise says she tested this one and, um,
• 19:35
  she, they have a 75 pound bag.
• 19:36
  Um,
• 19:40
  it's,
• 19:41
  it's way heavier than you think by
• 19:43
  round three.
• 19:44
  Like, thank God it's not the 200, 150.
• 19:47
  I,
• 19:47
  I honestly don't even know what I would
• 19:49
  do if it was a heavier bag.
• 19:51
  Uh, Dex says,
• 19:52
  I feel like it's courage in transition.
• 19:56
  The, the sandbag is going to be gripper,
• 19:58
  grippier.
• 19:58
  Wow.
• 20:00
  Whatever.
• 20:00
  Oh my gosh.
• 20:02
  Gripper Magoo too with the combo.
• 20:05
  Yeah.
• 20:06
  I need an English to Dex dictionary.
• 20:08
  Yeah.
• 20:12
  Is it going to be an Alabama
• 20:14
  a shaped bag though?
• 20:17
  I don't think we're going to
• 20:18
  get that lucky to get
• 20:19
  anything personalized for the masters.
• 20:22
  Yeah.
• 20:24
  Yeah.
• 20:24
  I think all the floors are
• 20:28
  20 foot just like,
• 20:30
  because there's three
• 20:30
  floors in this stadium.
• 20:32
  I,
• 20:33
  I think all the floors are 20 feet,
• 20:36
  which limits, right,
• 20:37
  getting that 25 foot or
• 20:39
  what you're used to.
• 20:40
  I just think, unfortunately,
• 20:42
  they don't have the distance.
• 20:47
  All right.
• 20:48
  We're ready to move to the next one.
• 20:50
  Yep.
• 20:53
  Event three for time, 25 overhead squats,
• 20:55
  80 foot dumbbell walking lunge,
• 20:58
  25 overhead squats, time cap,
• 21:01
  three little minutes.
• 21:03
  Barbell is $75.55.
• 21:05
  Dumbbell $50.35.
• 21:05
  I think this is going to be a shit show,
• 21:11
  if I'm being honest.
• 21:12
  I think the weights are super light.
• 21:14
  This is...
• 21:15
  two movements that, um, can be, uh,
• 21:19
  no rep very easily in one
• 21:21
  lane and not in another
• 21:22
  lane with the opening up of
• 21:23
  the hips on the overhead
• 21:24
  squats with the opening up
• 21:26
  of the hips on the lunges.
• 21:27
  And like some people going through, um,
• 21:30
  you're going for speed on
• 21:31
  these movements that are very light.
• 21:33
  I think it's going to be, uh,
• 21:36
  tough on the judges for sure.
• 21:38
  It's going to be a fast wad.
• 21:39
  It's, it's unbroken.
• 21:41
  Um,
• 21:43
  It's how fast can you lunge?
• 21:45
  At least like lunging is
• 21:46
  helping the taller athletes
• 21:47
  and then the overhead
• 21:50
  squats is better for the
• 21:51
  smaller athletes.
• 21:52
  So for that,
• 21:53
  I like that if you're going to
• 21:54
  do some sort of range of motion,
• 21:56
  I like that it can even up
• 21:58
  maybe a little bit with size there.
• 22:02
  But I think this is going to
• 22:02
  be hard to judge.
• 22:05
  Yeah.
• 22:07
  I would absolutely hate to
• 22:08
  judge this event.
• 22:10
  I,
• 22:11
  you know how I feel about workouts that
• 22:13
  like basically come down to
• 22:14
  a judge's call.
• 22:15
  Um, it's just, it's unfortunate to see,
• 22:19
  you see somebody in one lane,
• 22:20
  just getting away with absolute murder.
• 22:23
  And then the next lane is
• 22:25
  getting no rep for probably
• 22:27
  a better movement.
• 22:28
  And you're like,
• 22:29
  what is going on out there?
• 22:30
  I mean, it's just, it,
• 22:31
  and it completely ruined someone's really,
• 22:36
  they're probably their entire weekend.
• 22:39
  What kind of dumbbell lunges is it?
• 22:41
  Is it farmer?
• 22:42
  Is it front?
• 22:44
  And, or one dump?
• 22:45
  I mean, assuming it's two dumbbells.
• 22:46
  Cause if it's two double overhead,
• 22:48
  that's completely different.
• 22:50
  There's no way it wouldn't be, but I don't,
• 22:52
  I don't think it.
• 22:54
  Yeah.
• 22:56
  Um,
• 22:56
  I think it's documents that are released.
• 23:00
  If it's just farmer,
• 23:02
  I'm betting it's same with front rack.
• 23:04
  It's it's fast,
• 23:05
  but the double overhead
• 23:06
  would make a big difference.
• 23:07
  But yeah, like I said,
• 23:08
  Like you said,
• 23:09
  I don't think the time would
• 23:10
  make it a double overhead.
• 23:12
  Cause that's, that's,
• 23:14
  that would be really hard for,
• 23:14
  I think most of the masters
• 23:15
  mobility wise.
• 23:18
  Yeah.
• 23:18
  You would see some struggle in the 50.
• 23:20
  Like they wouldn't finish
• 23:21
  this workout if that's what it was.
• 23:23
  Not for you.
• 23:24
  I bet it's just a farmer.
• 23:25
  You guys have a lot of
• 23:28
  dumbbells this weekend too.
• 23:30
  I noticed.
• 23:31
  Yeah.
• 23:31
  That's common.
• 23:33
  What's the difference
• 23:33
  between a dumbbell lunge
• 23:34
  and a dumbbell walking lunge?
• 23:36
  Well, dumbbell lunge, you can do in place.
• 23:38
  A dumbbell walking lunge,
• 23:40
  you must cover a distance.
• 23:42
  And that's why this is 80
• 23:45
  feet and not so many reps.
• 23:50
  If it's just a lunge, it's for reps,
• 23:53
  not distance.
• 23:57
  Um, so yeah, so there's that one.
• 23:59
  And I, I completely agree.
• 24:01
  Like judging is going to be
• 24:02
  just nuts on this and the older.
• 24:07
  They're not doing this.
• 24:09
  No, because,
• 24:10
  because their overhead squat
• 24:12
  mobility just is in,
• 24:13
  in volume and for the,
• 24:16
  for the overall weekend.
• 24:19
  So, um,
• 24:22
  Kenneth says tomato, tomato.
• 24:24
  Well,
• 24:24
  there is a little bit difference
• 24:25
  because the opening of the
• 24:26
  hips is different.
• 24:28
  When you're walking the lunge,
• 24:30
  there's a couple more
• 24:31
  points that you have to hit
• 24:33
  in the standard.
• 24:35
  So it's a little bit more complicated.
• 24:39
  Although I like moving
• 24:40
  rather than stationary ones anyway.
• 24:43
  I think those are a little
• 24:44
  bit easier to judge.
• 24:48
  So let's go event four for time.
• 24:50
  This is the snatch speed ladder.
• 24:52
  It is simply four at 135.95,
• 24:54
  three at 165.115, two at 195.135,
• 25:00
  and one at 225.155.
• 25:00
  This immediately starts
• 25:04
  dropping in weight even at
• 25:05
  the 40 to 44-year-old division.
• 25:08
  Time cap is two minutes.
• 25:11
  So you got to move.
• 25:14
  I think for a lot of people,
• 25:17
  the top athletes,
• 25:18
  I think it's going to be power snatches.
• 25:21
  And it's going to be very fast.
• 25:24
  There's going to be touch and go for some,
• 25:26
  like the top, the top,
• 25:26
  top athletes are going
• 25:27
  touch and go on some of these weights.
• 25:32
  It's, I w I would have thought it,
• 25:33
  it would have been a little
• 25:35
  tiny bit heavier,
• 25:36
  but not with a two minute cap.
• 25:37
  If they want to go two minute cap, it's,
• 25:39
  I guess it's fine.
• 25:43
  One thing that they did add
• 25:44
  when they talked to TEF is
• 25:45
  that there will be only two
• 25:47
  bars and you'll have to
• 25:49
  change weights twice.
• 25:51
  I hate that.
• 25:52
  Why?
• 25:53
  I hate that changing weights
• 25:55
  is a part of fitness.
• 25:57
  People will be like,
• 25:59
  that shouldn't be part of fitness.
• 26:01
  How fast I can change whether the
• 26:03
  thingy gets stuck on the barbell.
• 26:05
  I don't think that should be
• 26:06
  part of fitness.
• 26:07
  I've always thought that.
• 26:10
  Some people like it in competitions.
• 26:11
  I hate it.
• 26:15
  Is it the first and the
• 26:18
  third barbell that have weight?
• 26:21
  Probably just adding fives
• 26:23
  or whatever it is.
• 26:28
  It almost doesn't make sense
• 26:30
  because mine is...
• 26:36
  mine is 95 95 115 125 145
• 26:36
  145 like because you're
• 26:42
  gonna have 25s and fives
• 26:44
  out there for the 95 bar so
• 26:46
  I guess and then
• 26:59
  then we're just throwing so
• 27:01
  there's gonna be tens that
• 27:02
  have to like be put on and
• 27:03
  pulled off and put on I
• 27:05
  don't know this doesn't I
• 27:06
  don't think you have to
• 27:07
  pull anything off I think
• 27:08
  it's just you're gonna have
• 27:09
  to add the new weight as
• 27:10
  you move up like from one
• 27:14
  125 to 145 you're gonna
• 27:16
  have to put a 10 on each
• 27:17
  side huh I just don't love
• 27:21
  it I just think
• 27:23
  I don't know.
• 27:24
  I don't like the switching
• 27:26
  of the weights being part
• 27:27
  of such a fast test like this.
• 27:30
  Some of the clips are just
• 27:31
  stickier than others.
• 27:33
  That shouldn't be a factor
• 27:34
  whether someone wins the heat or not.
• 27:38
  It should not be a factor.
• 27:39
  That's not fitness.
• 27:41
  This is probably where we
• 27:43
  may dive off a minute,
• 27:44
  but let's try not to.
• 27:47
  They said that the reason
• 27:48
  for it was for safety.
• 27:50
  Now that everything has happened...
• 27:53
  this is going to be an easy
• 27:55
  out for people when they
• 27:56
  don't want to do it a certain way.
• 27:58
  They can say it's for safety reasons.
• 28:01
  Why is it safer to stop and
• 28:03
  load a bar before you go to the next one?
• 28:06
  That, that makes no sense.
• 28:07
  Less bars on the floor.
• 28:08
  No, I understand the safety thing.
• 28:10
  You don't, if you don't have the space,
• 28:12
  you don't want four bars on, on there.
• 28:14
  And then people are moving everywhere.
• 28:16
  It's like, I get the space thing.
• 28:18
  I guess I get, I get that.
• 28:19
  I'm just saying,
• 28:20
  I personally don't think
• 28:21
  that that should,
• 28:22
  play factor and if and if
• 28:23
  you don't have the space
• 28:24
  then I think you could do
• 28:25
  another type of lift I mean
• 28:26
  we're already pulling from
• 28:27
  the floor this is now the
• 28:28
  third time right um in four
• 28:30
  workouts I mean the volume
• 28:31
  is pretty low here compared
• 28:33
  to um the rest but yeah you
• 28:37
  just don't do this workout
• 28:38
  if if safety you don't do a
• 28:40
  snatch ladder if safety is
• 28:41
  a concern that makes no sense I just like
• 28:52
  I think it's different if
• 28:53
  it's like a long ladder and
• 28:54
  it's not necessarily like
• 28:56
  two minutes long and you
• 28:57
  can go through and you can
• 28:58
  change your weights and
• 28:59
  you're kind of using that as recovery.
• 29:01
  But in something like this,
• 29:03
  it's just so fast.
• 29:04
  And I just think that people having, um,
• 29:07
  those type of clips that
• 29:08
  they're going to be using
• 29:09
  in training and being able
• 29:10
  to use those faster,
• 29:11
  like in and out makes a difference.
• 29:13
  What type of clips you train with.
• 29:14
  If you're used to those ones
• 29:15
  that they'll be using, um,
• 29:19
  Yeah.
• 29:20
  But I mean, I think it's fast.
• 29:21
  It's.
• 29:23
  If you're going to,
• 29:24
  if you want to do a two
• 29:25
  minute cap to work out,
• 29:26
  either you make it so it it's,
• 29:28
  it is for the two minute
• 29:29
  cap or you make it.
• 29:30
  So it's a three minute cap
• 29:32
  and you change weights.
• 29:33
  I think that the combination
• 29:35
  of the two makes no sense.
• 29:38
  Personally.
• 29:41
  Yeah.
• 29:41
  Yeah.
• 29:44
  I like this workout.
• 29:45
  I just don't like the
• 29:47
  bastardized version of it.
• 29:52
  If you want a straight speed
• 29:53
  ladder with a two-minute cap,
• 29:55
  let them go.
• 30:00
  Is it an elimination style
• 30:02
  or is it just one time through?
• 30:03
  One time through.
• 30:06
  You mess up.
• 30:09
  With 40 people, that's crazy.
• 30:10
  There's going to be some
• 30:12
  close times on this yeah so
• 30:16
  you gotta you definitely
• 30:17
  have to sprint to that
• 30:18
  finish line if there is one
• 30:24
  oh my gosh if there's no
• 30:25
  finish line or is it or is
• 30:26
  it judges um like do they
• 30:32
  have the the ankle clips
• 30:34
  like those will be factors
• 30:36
  if we're if we will not have ankle
• 30:39
  time bracelets we will not
• 30:40
  so like going off the
• 30:42
  judges reaction like is not
• 30:44
  accurate I know especially
• 30:46
  when people are going to be
• 30:46
  coming to the finish line
• 30:47
  very close I hope they can
• 30:49
  find some sort of ankle
• 30:50
  clip because 40 athletes
• 30:52
  doing a sub two minute and
• 30:53
  a sub three minute workout
• 30:56
  is you want accuracy and I
• 30:59
  don't think it's going to
• 30:59
  be accurate how fast the
• 31:01
  judge can click their button
• 31:05
  Oh, my God.
• 31:05
  If there's no finish line,
• 31:08
  I may protest right in the
• 31:09
  middle of the event.
• 31:11
  If spectators can't see who wins,
• 31:14
  there's no point in having a sport.
• 31:18
  Was it Legends last year or
• 31:19
  the Masters Collective when
• 31:20
  they didn't have the finish line?
• 31:22
  Both.
• 31:23
  Both.
• 31:23
  Oh, both.
• 31:24
  Both.
• 31:27
  Yep.
• 31:27
  Both stopped on the floor.
• 31:28
  It was rough.
• 31:31
  Yeah.
• 31:31
  If you can't see who finishes first,
• 31:34
  there's no point in watching.
• 31:36
  It was, it's just dumb.
• 31:38
  Not even for you.
• 31:39
  The, I mean, yes, I agree.
• 31:40
  Spectator wise,
• 31:41
  but it was a struggle for us as athletes.
• 31:45
  Like, I mean, Scott,
• 31:46
  you were standing there
• 31:47
  when we weren't sure if
• 31:47
  Veronica was actually done.
• 31:49
  She wasn't sure if she was done.
• 31:50
  I know.
• 31:51
  Cause she didn't have a mat
• 31:52
  to run to and she didn't
• 31:53
  know if her judge was confused.
• 31:54
  Like it was, it was very confusing.
• 32:00
  But if you're streaming this,
• 32:03
  you're trying to make
• 32:04
  people get eyes on this
• 32:05
  sport for the first time ever.
• 32:08
  So you have a really good stream.
• 32:10
  You have a nice facility
• 32:11
  with a lot of places for people to watch.
• 32:13
  If you make it impossible
• 32:14
  for them to see who wins,
• 32:16
  you might as well just
• 32:17
  chuck it all out the window.
• 32:21
  I'm,
• 32:22
  I'm guessing all of the floors will
• 32:24
  have a start mat and a finish mat.
• 32:29
  They're pretty good about that,
• 32:30
  about having the floor set.
• 32:32
  Well,
• 32:32
  having them and using them are two
• 32:34
  different things.
• 32:35
  Right.
• 32:36
  Whether we use them will be the question.
• 32:41
  Sad to say,
• 32:41
  I can see them saying they
• 32:43
  don't want to have anybody
• 32:45
  jump that last bar and get
• 32:46
  to the finish mat for safety purposes.
• 32:48
  So they're just going to let
• 32:49
  it finish at the... If you play sport,
• 32:53
  there's an assumption of risk.
• 32:56
  There just is.
• 32:56
  I mean...
• 32:58
  just is yeah there should be
• 33:01
  a finish line you should
• 33:02
  have to drop it forward a
• 33:04
  lot of masters that don't
• 33:05
  have the experience of an
• 33:06
  in-person comp might put it
• 33:08
  behind them and then get no
• 33:10
  rep like those might be
• 33:10
  some mistakes that you'll
• 33:11
  see um if there's a finish
• 33:13
  line with those rules just
• 33:16
  knowing that um that's you
• 33:19
  know details that as an
• 33:20
  athlete like I know because
• 33:21
  I have experience but you
• 33:22
  don't know the experience of certain um
• 33:25
  Athletes will be competing that weekend.
• 33:26
  But yeah,
• 33:27
  I hope there's a finish line
• 33:29
  visually and everything.
• 33:33
  All right, let's move on to event five.
• 33:36
  Four times, 75 wall balls,
• 33:38
  40 shoulder to overhead,
• 33:39
  30 dumbbell stepovers, 40 dumbbell snatch,
• 33:43
  75 wall balls.
• 33:47
  So you have Karen on the outside,
• 33:50
  like with a 150.
• 33:50
  I don't know why there's two different...
• 33:53
  dumbbell movements here um I
• 33:56
  would have wanted the same
• 33:57
  movement both shoulders
• 33:58
  overhead probably because
• 33:59
  you already have pulling
• 34:01
  from the floor with the
• 34:03
  deadlift the snatch well
• 34:05
  what is the barbell the
• 34:06
  shouldered overhead is
• 34:07
  barbell then I would have
• 34:10
  kept the barbell you don't
• 34:11
  need it you don't need
• 34:11
  another dumbbell or you
• 34:14
  keep or you do a double
• 34:15
  dumbbell if you wanted
• 34:16
  shoulder to overhead but um
• 34:19
  and have a little bit more
• 34:20
  interference on the
• 34:22
  upper body press.
• 34:23
  You could have even put
• 34:24
  handstand push-ups here
• 34:26
  just because you haven't
• 34:27
  had as much gymnastics.
• 34:28
  Yeah, I don't know about... I mean,
• 34:32
  I think it looks cleaner if
• 34:33
  it's like a true pyramid,
• 34:35
  like one movement, second movement, third,
• 34:38
  and then go back that second movement.
• 34:41
  I saw Ariel post on her
• 34:44
  story that she was like 11
• 34:46
  something on this one.
• 34:49
  What's the time cap?
• 34:49
  I can't see it.
• 34:51
  15 minutes.
• 34:52
  15 minutes.
• 34:52
  Yeah.
• 34:53
  Sorry.
• 34:53
  I had to zoom in.
• 34:58
  Yeah.
• 34:59
  I mean,
• 35:00
  what's the target height for the
• 35:02
  wall ball?
• 35:03
  Nothing said on that.
• 35:03
  10.9.
• 35:03
  10.9.
• 35:04
  Yep.
• 35:10
  So I think even though it's
• 35:16
  not a true pyramid,
• 35:17
  do you think it's a good workout?
• 35:18
  I think it's fine.
• 35:20
  I mean, it's pure CrossFit.
• 35:21
  Like it's trying to think
• 35:24
  like what's the shoulder to
• 35:28
  overhead weight on 1580.
• 35:33
  single dumbbell step over or double?
• 35:36
  I'm pretty sure that it's a
• 35:37
  single dumbbell because
• 35:38
  there's only the one
• 35:39
  dumbbell on the floor for
• 35:40
  the snatch in the box.
• 35:43
  And I'm,
• 35:44
  I'm assuming it's held any way you want.
• 35:46
  A lot of people in the chat
• 35:50
  are saying everybody's fine.
• 35:53
  I don't,
• 35:53
  I don't think you need to go on
• 35:54
  broken for sure on the wall balls.
• 35:55
  I think quick sets something
• 36:00
  that's just like repeatable
• 36:01
  that you're not like
• 36:01
  hunched over at the ball.
• 36:03
  Same thing for the shoulder to overhead,
• 36:09
  the dumbbell stepovers.
• 36:11
  If you're allowed to just
• 36:12
  hold it behind your head or something,
• 36:13
  I think you just kind of hold on to that.
• 36:15
  Try to relax your grip a little bit.
• 36:17
  You can just shake one arm out,
• 36:19
  something like that.
• 36:21
  Dumbbell snatch at that weight,
• 36:22
  I would assume,
• 36:24
  is you just kind of hold on
• 36:25
  unbroken and then whatever
• 36:27
  you have left on that 75 wall ball.
• 36:32
  All right, let's go to event six.
• 36:35
  Round one.
• 36:36
  This one just is god-awful.
• 36:40
  Round one, four minutes of work,
• 36:42
  one minute of rest.
• 36:44
  Round two, three minutes of work,
• 36:45
  one minute of rest.
• 36:46
  Round three, two minutes of work.
• 36:49
  It's basically max echo bite calories,
• 36:53
  trying to get to 105 and 80,
• 36:54
  but there's a buy-in every
• 36:55
  round of 75 double-unders
• 36:56
  and 20 chest-to-bars.
• 37:04
  Dex,
• 37:04
  have you done this one or any part of it?
• 37:10
  He said he loves it.
• 37:12
  That makes me think he has.
• 37:13
  He's one of those guys that
• 37:15
  can hammer a bike.
• 37:16
  I know,
• 37:16
  but it makes me think he hasn't done it.
• 37:19
  He just loves the idea of, yeah,
• 37:22
  hammer the bike.
• 37:24
  I mean,
• 37:24
  this is just how bad do you want to
• 37:27
  hurt on the echo bike?
• 37:31
  Yeah, I mean,
• 37:32
  both of the movements up front,
• 37:35
  are I think at this level,
• 37:37
  mostly unbroken for, for people.
• 37:39
  Um,
• 37:40
  and then it's your power output on the
• 37:42
  bike.
• 37:43
  Like some people can just have like,
• 37:45
  especially the men,
• 37:46
  like their ability to
• 37:47
  sprint on an echo bike is
• 37:49
  not even comparable to, to the females.
• 37:51
  If they have two and a half minutes,
• 37:52
  let's say on the, on the bike,
• 37:54
  on the first round, it's going to be,
• 37:58
  it's a tough one to finish for sure.
• 38:00
  I haven't tried it, but it looks nasty.
• 38:06
  And I like the format of it that, you know,
• 38:08
  the time decreases on the bike, um,
• 38:12
  the further along you move.
• 38:14
  I hate that.
• 38:15
  I wish it was, I wish it was a three,
• 38:17
  three, four personally.
• 38:20
  Like then it's like, can you,
• 38:23
  can you even get through that?
• 38:25
  Like,
• 38:26
  do you need all four minutes at the end?
• 38:27
  Can you keep pushing at the
• 38:29
  end of all this?
• 38:33
  I think it still comes down
• 38:34
  to just power output.
• 38:36
  I think you're going to have
• 38:37
  very few women finish this.
• 38:43
  Are the cows different for your division?
• 38:46
  No.
• 38:46
  Not through 40 to 44 for sure.
• 38:55
  yeah if it changes I think
• 38:57
  it was like 60 at like 55
• 38:59
  plus or something like that
• 39:00
  denise test said you tested
• 39:02
  it denise what's your kales
• 39:03
  to get through I i keep I
• 39:07
  will be shocked I mean
• 39:09
  there might be a dude dex
• 39:10
  maybe can get through in in
• 39:12
  two rounds I don't know oh
• 39:14
  I bet you dex gets it with
• 39:15
  two rounds oh he's just
• 39:18
  that good on a bike like I'm
• 39:21
  oh god yeah I mean if you're
• 39:24
  tall or you weigh more it's
• 39:25
  going to definitely help
• 39:26
  here um I mean I i do like
• 39:30
  that you have to earn your
• 39:32
  echo bike power output by
• 39:33
  at least having some sort
• 39:35
  of gymnastics prior and
• 39:37
  elevated heart rate that
• 39:39
  you can't just be tall and
• 39:42
  or bigger but um let me put
• 39:45
  it this way if dex doesn't
• 39:46
  finish it in two rounds he
• 39:47
  ain't getting back to the
• 39:48
  bike on round three
• 39:50
  That's the other thing.
• 39:52
  Yeah.
• 39:56
  I mean, I watched you do this,
• 39:57
  and I don't want to disclose anything.
• 39:59
  Like,
• 40:00
  this is way harder than people think
• 40:01
  it is.
• 40:04
  I think I need to take an
• 40:06
  airline puke bag out on the
• 40:07
  floor with me if I'm being 100% honest.
• 40:10
  I don't know who thinks this
• 40:11
  workout is easy.
• 40:12
  This workout looks awful.
• 40:14
  Dex.
• 40:18
  Dex, am I lying?
• 40:19
  If you don't finish it in two,
• 40:20
  you're not making it back for three.
• 40:24
  I've seen you on the floor
• 40:25
  way too many times, bub.
• 40:30
  I was shocked.
• 40:31
  Denise said right here,
• 40:34
  the second round of double unders,
• 40:35
  I tripped a million times.
• 40:36
  I was shocked at how heavy
• 40:39
  my legs felt when I went to jump rope.
• 40:46
  And your arms are going to be feeling it.
• 40:48
  That blood is just trying to
• 40:49
  circulate and those chest
• 40:51
  of arms are going to become
• 40:52
  hard as the blood is just
• 40:55
  looking to go somewhere
• 40:56
  because you're just feeling it.
• 40:58
  It's almost like that one
• 40:59
  minute of rest is rude
• 41:00
  because you all of a sudden feel worse.
• 41:08
  Yeah, this is a nasty workout.
• 41:10
  Lynn says, oh no,
• 41:13
  this is the hardest workout ever.
• 41:16
  Yeah.
• 41:17
  I like me a bike though.
• 41:18
  I, this looks awful.
• 41:24
  Yep.
• 41:24
  Dex said the flow on chest
• 41:25
  of bar got super weird.
• 41:27
  I felt that I actually was like,
• 41:30
  I just need to come down.
• 41:30
  I like, I am doing some funky Kip here.
• 41:33
  That doesn't even,
• 41:34
  I don't even know what I'm
• 41:35
  doing right now.
• 41:35
  All right.
• 41:38
  Let's move on off of this
• 41:39
  thing and go to event seven,
• 41:42
  which is the standard.
• 41:46
  I love this one.
• 41:47
  I don't think 12 minute time
• 41:48
  cap is good for the woman at this level.
• 41:53
  Like you had the games top
• 41:56
  10 athletes for females
• 41:57
  doing it in around 11
• 41:58
  minutes a few years ago.
• 41:59
  I think the 12 minute time
• 42:03
  cap for the females like 40 to 44,
• 42:06
  you have 12 minutes as well, right?
• 42:12
  Yeah,
• 42:13
  I think although I think for a few
• 42:15
  divisions, it's a 12 minute time cap.
• 42:16
  I I don't see too many
• 42:21
  people women especially
• 42:22
  finishing that the top from
• 42:26
  the top from the 35 to 39
• 42:27
  can do it but I think very
• 42:29
  few women will finish it in
• 42:31
  the in the 12 minute time cap.
• 42:33
  This one according to our
• 42:35
  original heat sheet was
• 42:38
  supposed to be through 13 minutes.
• 42:41
  Yeah.
• 42:41
  I don't know why they think
• 42:42
  12 minutes is appropriate for,
• 42:46
  I just think that a lot of
• 42:47
  people won't get to that point.
• 42:48
  It's a ring muscle workout.
• 42:50
  These are singles on the barbell,
• 42:52
  just moving through it,
• 42:53
  giving yourself time and
• 42:54
  then figuring out what sets
• 42:57
  you're able to do on the ring muscle ups.
• 42:59
  Hopefully no, no,
• 43:01
  no reps because those get
• 43:02
  really costly and it's just
• 43:03
  kind of executing clean, clean sets.
• 43:06
  And then,
• 43:07
  on the back end if you have
• 43:09
  it in you to do a couple
• 43:10
  touch and go towards the
• 43:11
  very end of the snatches
• 43:13
  but probably once you start
• 43:14
  doing singles your body is
• 43:15
  just in a single rhythm
• 43:17
  that you just keep going in
• 43:19
  singles um yeah this this
• 43:21
  will be a ring muscle up
• 43:22
  and how much rest you want
• 43:24
  to take in between so I
• 43:26
  have an important question
• 43:27
  with since we're here and
• 43:29
  the last couple we've said
• 43:30
  you know this is a
• 43:31
  completely different
• 43:31
  workout from men to women
• 43:34
  and that the caps are too
• 43:35
  aggressive for one or the other,
• 43:36
  or for the women as opposed to the men.
• 43:40
  On TEF,
• 43:42
  Bob and Joe said that the people
• 43:44
  who tested these workouts
• 43:45
  were themselves and Jared Enderton.
• 43:49
  If you have no women testing
• 43:52
  these workouts,
• 43:54
  are you getting a true
• 43:56
  picture as to what it is for women?
• 44:03
  If that's the truth and
• 44:04
  you've already tested it,
• 44:06
  is that a mistake?
• 44:09
  I think some of the women in
• 44:10
  35 to 39 will be able to finish it,
• 44:13
  but I think as you keep going along,
• 44:16
  I just don't think in a field of 40,
• 44:18
  you want still close to half to finish,
• 44:21
  and you're not going to get that.
• 44:24
  You're just not.
• 44:24
  It's not on the female side anyways.
• 44:27
  But even you say 35 to 39...
• 44:31
  the top 10 women at the
• 44:32
  games struggled to get 11.
• 44:35
  Now you're talking 40, 35 to 39 year olds.
• 44:38
  I get that's 2019 and we
• 44:40
  we've definitely come a long way.
• 44:43
  But I still think that this is a,
• 44:46
  I haven't done this one in years,
• 44:47
  but yeah, I think, I think at this level,
• 44:54
  it's not, it's too fast a time cap.
• 44:57
  That's my opinion, but I love the workout.
• 44:59
  I personally like this workout.
• 45:01
  I like brain muscle.
• 45:02
  I would have been happier to
• 45:03
  even to see the 13 minutes for the women,
• 45:05
  like at least give some separate, like,
• 45:08
  hopefully you get to the
• 45:09
  snatch and can get some and like,
• 45:11
  and who wants to like,
• 45:12
  even try to hold onto it
• 45:13
  for a couple of reps and
• 45:14
  try to win there.
• 45:15
  Right.
• 45:15
  Like give a fighting chance
• 45:17
  to a few people to make some separation,
• 45:19
  not just one morning muscle
• 45:21
  up separation.
• 45:22
  So 45 to 54 do 25 instead of 30.
• 45:23
  Oh,
• 45:30
  Just women or men too?
• 45:31
  I think it's both.
• 45:34
  Well, that's the thing.
• 45:37
  Your 50-year-old women are
• 45:38
  going to be stuck on ring muscle-ups.
• 45:44
  It's going to be a ring muscle-up workout.
• 45:47
  That's the separator.
• 45:49
  Who can do them?
• 45:51
  Who has that volume in them?
• 45:54
  You guys had that ascending
• 45:56
  rep scheme yesterday.
• 45:58
  in semis this one's a big
• 46:02
  chunk on the spot which is
• 46:06
  different you know for
• 46:08
  muscle stamina but yeah I
• 46:12
  mean I just hope for the
• 46:14
  viewership that you see
• 46:15
  people finish on the
• 46:17
  women's side there will be
• 46:19
  a there will definitely be
• 46:21
  a couple people in each I
• 46:22
  think about like Andrea
• 46:23
  Nisler and stuff like
• 46:25
  Alethea Boone's gonna
• 46:26
  finish in our age group for sure
• 46:30
  Is she coming?
• 46:32
  You know what?
• 46:35
  I guess I didn't look at, like,
• 46:36
  do we even have a leaderboard showing?
• 46:38
  Yep.
• 46:40
  I don't know.
• 46:40
  I don't think I saw her on the board.
• 46:42
  Really?
• 46:43
  That's why I asked.
• 46:44
  I'll double check.
• 46:46
  I have it up here, so I'll check again.
• 46:49
  So next event is event eight,
• 46:53
  eight rounds for time,
• 46:54
  eight bar facing burpees,
• 46:55
  eight toes to bar, one clean at 255, 180.
• 46:59
  Time cap, eight minutes.
• 47:03
  Not a lot of room for separation here.
• 47:05
  I mean,
• 47:07
  everyone can do eight toes to bars.
• 47:09
  Everyone can do eight bar facing burpees.
• 47:12
  How fast you're comfortable
• 47:13
  doing a clean at 180.
• 47:15
  If you can power it, you know, every time,
• 47:17
  nice and sweet, you're good.
• 47:19
  It's just going to come down
• 47:20
  to transitions,
• 47:21
  jogging between the
• 47:22
  movements and pushing the pace.
• 47:24
  If you don't have that one
• 47:25
  80 in you that you're just
• 47:27
  confidently jogging to the bar,
• 47:29
  just getting it.
• 47:30
  I think you'll struggle on this one.
• 47:33
  It's basically what it's eight,
• 47:35
  eight rounds, eight minute time.
• 47:36
  Yeah.
• 47:36
  It's an EMOM quicker than an EMOM.
• 47:40
  This is a fast time cap.
• 47:41
  Like I think they have a few
• 47:42
  fast time caps here and
• 47:43
  it's probably because of
• 47:44
  the amount of divisions
• 47:45
  they got to get through, but yeah,
• 47:50
  But I don't want to see
• 47:50
  every women's division not
• 47:52
  finished and all the men finished.
• 47:54
  That's a bad look to me.
• 47:57
  I'm not saying that women
• 47:58
  have a disadvantage at this one.
• 48:00
  I don't think that this one
• 48:01
  is one that with the women,
• 48:02
  I just think it's a fast time cap.
• 48:04
  If you start having to move
• 48:06
  your barbell up and the
• 48:07
  transitions get longer,
• 48:09
  if they've only tested it
• 48:10
  on the spot in person,
• 48:11
  that's different than the
• 48:13
  amount like that playing
• 48:14
  field that they're going to
• 48:15
  be doing it on.
• 48:16
  which is why at the games
• 48:17
  they have that demo team
• 48:19
  testing workouts on the
• 48:20
  field and progressing
• 48:21
  forward because they're like, oh,
• 48:23
  we didn't take this into consideration.
• 48:25
  We've got to bump up the
• 48:25
  time cap by a minute or
• 48:27
  something like that.
• 48:29
  But yeah,
• 48:30
  this is a quick one between all
• 48:34
  the movements.
• 48:37
  Dex says women have it easier on this one.
• 48:40
  I disagree, but...
• 48:43
  Aletheia Boone is not on the roster.
• 48:47
  Well, that's sort of a bummer.
• 48:50
  Event nine,
• 48:51
  five minutes to establish a one
• 48:52
  rep max front squat.
• 48:56
  I mean, this is just,
• 48:58
  is it from the floor or from the rack?
• 49:00
  I'm sure it's from the rack.
• 49:01
  From the rack, okay.
• 49:03
  I mean, this is raw strength here.
• 49:08
  Lifting, I mean, in the previous workout,
• 49:10
  I think,
• 49:11
  the lift is the separator.
• 49:13
  Like if you could just go to it, I mean,
• 49:16
  yeah, it's a, it's a strength one.
• 49:17
  I mean,
• 49:18
  there's not really anything to it here.
• 49:20
  Stronger people will win.
• 49:23
  Yep.
• 49:24
  Boring.
• 49:26
  It is boring.
• 49:28
  I don't think this was needed here.
• 49:30
  I don't, I,
• 49:31
  with all the power have like
• 49:35
  power output feel of a lot
• 49:37
  of these workouts.
• 49:37
  I do not think they needed
• 49:38
  this strength test.
• 49:41
  You have the strength test
• 49:41
  with your snatch ladder.
• 49:42
  I think they could have done
• 49:45
  some sort of gymnastics
• 49:47
  with possibly another run here.
• 49:50
  Like I think out of 10 events,
• 49:52
  one event with running is, I mean,
• 49:54
  they don't have any events
• 49:55
  that's long and you have
• 49:56
  another short workout.
• 50:00
  Yeah.
• 50:00
  I'd like to see something in
• 50:01
  that 15 to 20 minute range.
• 50:05
  Yeah.
• 50:07
  Five minutes.
• 50:08
  There we go.
• 50:10
  All right, and then finally we end up with,
• 50:12
  they will cut to half of
• 50:14
  the participants at this point,
• 50:18
  and then on Sunday,
• 50:19
  the only event that is going is this one,
• 50:21
  event 10, four-time, 8-12-16,
• 50:24
  single-arm dumbbell
• 50:25
  thrusters and bar muscle-ups,
• 50:27
  time cap eight minutes,
• 50:28
  the dumbbell weight is 70-50.
• 50:33
  Smaller bodies.
• 50:34
  I think the thruster with those reps is...
• 50:39
  like no, no issue.
• 50:42
  It's going to come down to
• 50:43
  the bar muscle ups and
• 50:46
  range of motion and transitions, I guess.
• 50:50
  Another fast,
• 50:50
  it's another eight minute workout,
• 50:53
  like another fast one.
• 50:55
  You have the ring muscle ups,
• 50:56
  the bar muscle ups.
• 50:58
  I don't know.
• 51:00
  It is a little weird.
• 51:01
  I love bar muscle ups, but yeah,
• 51:05
  I don't know.
• 51:06
  36 of these after doing
• 51:08
  60 chest to bar that you're
• 51:10
  trying to sprint.
• 51:11
  Like the fatigue from that is going to,
• 51:13
  is going to add up.
• 51:15
  And then the next day you're
• 51:16
  starting with 30 ring muscle ups.
• 51:18
  And then the next day you're
• 51:19
  starting with like,
• 51:20
  it is back to back to back pulling.
• 51:24
  What about all the squatting?
• 51:25
  Max squat, overhead squat.
• 51:29
  I don't think the wall ball
• 51:31
  thruster shoulder to overhead.
• 51:35
  I don't know.
• 51:35
  I don't feel like there's dead squatting.
• 51:39
  I mean, the wall balls,
• 51:41
  that's a high volume.
• 51:43
  I feel it more so in my arms
• 51:45
  when I do wall balls.
• 51:47
  Some of the squatting
• 51:49
  numbers are still
• 51:50
  relatively low or like
• 51:53
  light for the overhead squat.
• 51:56
  But like Dex said, that there's no...
• 52:01
  long aerobic test.
• 52:02
  Like that first one,
• 52:04
  that's what 16 minute time cap.
• 52:06
  Is that what it was?
• 52:06
  16 or 18 minutes, 18 minute time cap.
• 52:09
  Um,
• 52:10
  but I'm betting that runners aren't
• 52:11
  going to get anywhere near 18 minutes.
• 52:15
  Like I would like to see a longer one.
• 52:18
  That's not based off of weightlifting.
• 52:22
  Um, and some sort of,
• 52:28
  I see.
• 52:29
  I would like to see probably
• 52:30
  another run in there or you
• 52:32
  could have put a row.
• 52:34
  They don't have a row, right?
• 52:35
  There's no rower.
• 52:35
  There's the one power output
• 52:37
  echo bike for like four power.
• 52:41
  You could do a rower or
• 52:42
  another run in one of them,
• 52:45
  but like a longer time domain.
• 52:48
  I think for the best athletes,
• 52:50
  they're not going to see
• 52:51
  the floor for more than 12
• 52:52
  minutes this whole weekend.
• 52:54
  I know there's an 18 minute
• 52:55
  one and there's a 15 minute one,
• 52:56
  but I don't think there's,
• 52:57
  I think the best athletes
• 52:58
  are going to be off the
• 52:59
  floor in 12 minutes or less
• 53:00
  on everything.
• 53:02
  Yeah.
• 53:02
  There's short workouts like that.
• 53:03
  I don't think that front squat was needed.
• 53:11
  Dex asks,
• 53:11
  you guys think anything changed
• 53:12
  after Fort Worth?
• 53:14
  I am positive something
• 53:15
  changed after Fort Worth,
• 53:16
  but I'm betting we'll never
• 53:17
  know what it is.
• 53:18
  Yeah.
• 53:18
  People are saying there
• 53:20
  wasn't supposed to be swimming,
• 53:21
  but I was under the
• 53:22
  impression we were supposed
• 53:23
  to swim in a pool or something.
• 53:25
  Because I think they like
• 53:26
  communicated with the teams
• 53:28
  that they would not be swimming.
• 53:30
  And I feel like that was
• 53:31
  stated because we were swimming.
• 53:33
  I feel like there was
• 53:34
  another outdoor test.
• 53:36
  Yes.
• 53:36
  And they brought it inside.
• 53:38
  But I don't know what that
• 53:39
  was to what it is.
• 53:41
  Because on that podcast with TEF,
• 53:43
  they talked a lot about
• 53:45
  we're keeping everybody
• 53:46
  inside except for this one
• 53:47
  minimal run to keep
• 53:49
  everybody out of the heat.
• 53:50
  Yeah.
• 53:52
  Yeah.
• 53:54
  So I don't know what that is.
• 53:56
  If I was a part of the leaks,
• 53:58
  I could tell you probably,
• 54:00
  but because I didn't get
• 54:01
  any leak information, I can't tell you.
• 54:04
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 54:07
  I don't know.
• 54:10
  You think it's well-rounded, Carolyn?
• 54:12
  What do you think?
• 54:16
  I think it's missing a long
• 54:18
  time domain for sure.
• 54:20
  I think that there's a lot of
• 54:24
  I think there's enough gymnastics,
• 54:26
  like you have 16 rope climbs,
• 54:28
  30 ring muscle ups,
• 54:29
  you have some bar muscle ups in there,
• 54:31
  chest to bars.
• 54:33
  I would have liked to have
• 54:34
  seen inverted a little bit more,
• 54:35
  so either handstand pushups
• 54:37
  of some sort or more
• 54:40
  handstand walk as a separator.
• 54:45
  The weights,
• 54:46
  I don't think there's anything
• 54:47
  crazy heavy in any of the
• 54:49
  workouts besides testing
• 54:51
  your front squat.
• 54:54
  which is just raw strength.
• 54:58
  I'm okay with them.
• 54:59
  I mean, I, I,
• 55:00
  I like every like test basically.
• 55:05
  I feel like that's what I see.
• 55:07
  Like people are commenting on it.
• 55:08
  They love it.
• 55:09
  They love the tests.
• 55:10
  Like,
• 55:11
  but I feel like they love the tests
• 55:12
  individually or they're
• 55:13
  like seeing like six or
• 55:15
  seven that they really like.
• 55:16
  And they're like, Oh, those look fun.
• 55:18
  But I,
• 55:18
  I don't know that they're like
• 55:20
  looking at the programming
• 55:21
  in totality and realizing that,
• 55:25
  I don't know.
• 55:25
  I mean,
• 55:25
  I'm really curious to see who comes
• 55:29
  out at the top at the end of this week,
• 55:31
  if it really is like the bigger,
• 55:33
  stronger athlete or I don't know.
• 55:36
  I think I think you need
• 55:37
  some some good strength and gymnastics.
• 55:40
  So I think where you're
• 55:41
  lacking is where the games went,
• 55:43
  which was all aerobic.
• 55:46
  Right.
• 55:46
  So I think if you're supposed to be,
• 55:49
  I think this is going to be
• 55:51
  your pure CrossFitter
• 55:52
  inside the gym type athlete,
• 55:55
  like your quarterfinal
• 55:58
  semifinal type athlete that
• 56:00
  is good with moving weights
• 56:03
  at like moderate heavy
• 56:04
  weights and some pulling and stuff.
• 56:08
  Gymnastics.
• 56:09
  Like I think those are the
• 56:10
  type of athletes that will do well.
• 56:11
  They don't need to go very, very long.
• 56:14
  What's that?
• 56:15
  Do you think that's where we're going?
• 56:17
  After what happened in Fort Worth,
• 56:18
  do you think we're going to
• 56:19
  be more climate-controlled,
• 56:22
  at least in the next few years?
• 56:24
  I mean, I hope not.
• 56:27
  I think aerobic capacity is
• 56:30
  extremely important.
• 56:32
  I don't think it should
• 56:33
  always be machine-based
• 56:34
  because I don't think that
• 56:35
  power output is the same
• 56:37
  thing as going for runs.
• 56:39
  I don't want it to be just ski or grow,
• 56:42
  ecobike,
• 56:44
  And that's how we're testing
• 56:45
  like monostructural.
• 56:46
  Cause that it's still favoring the bigger,
• 56:49
  taller, heavier athletes.
• 56:50
  Like I want it to be, um,
• 56:53
  more aerobic based, long, long workouts.
• 56:57
  Um, cause either we had the outdoor run,
• 57:01
  which everybody loved, right?
• 57:04
  Like everybody loved that.
• 57:05
  We actually got outside and
• 57:06
  ran and not on a machine.
• 57:08
  And like, I don't want,
• 57:09
  I hope we don't go away
• 57:10
  from that just because of what happened.
• 57:12
  Um,
• 57:13
  But I wanted to give a shout
• 57:14
  out to Larry because last
• 57:15
  week I forgot to put up his paid comment.
• 57:19
  So I wanted to say you
• 57:20
  finally got your one rep max, Larry.
• 57:22
  So happy for you.
• 57:23
  At least one person is out
• 57:25
  there happy that you get to
• 57:26
  do a one rep max front squat.
• 57:33
  The other thing I wanted to
• 57:34
  ask is because they changed
• 57:37
  the schedule and now
• 57:38
  there's only one event on Sunday,
• 57:41
  that means you're doing nine
• 57:42
  events in three days.
• 57:43
  A lot of athletes are used to that,
• 57:45
  but the masters have never
• 57:46
  really done that amount of
• 57:48
  volume in a day that many
• 57:50
  days in a row at the games.
• 57:52
  So that is a little bit different.
• 57:53
  Do you think that that adds
• 57:55
  to the aerobic test or at
• 57:57
  least that you have to
• 57:58
  recover multiple more times
• 58:00
  in those first three days?
• 58:06
  I would say yes, if they're for one,
• 58:09
  if the time caps were correct.
• 58:11
  Cause I think some people
• 58:13
  are going to not get the
• 58:14
  full volume of work on some
• 58:15
  of these tests.
• 58:17
  Um, and, and, and then like,
• 58:21
  there's so many short ones,
• 58:23
  eight minutes or less that
• 58:24
  I don't know that, that,
• 58:25
  that volume adds up even
• 58:27
  for three in a day.
• 58:28
  I don't know.
• 58:34
  Okay.
• 58:37
  All right.
• 58:40
  With that,
• 58:41
  I want to give a shout-out to
• 58:43
  the 70-plus division.
• 58:45
  This is the first time
• 58:46
  they're ever going to have
• 58:47
  a division at the CrossFit Games.
• 58:51
  I know people that qualified
• 58:53
  in the 65-plus but were 70-plus
• 58:57
  and are choosing to go in
• 58:59
  the 70 plus to compete with
• 59:00
  their own age group,
• 59:02
  which is really cool.
• 59:04
  So super, super stoked for them.
• 59:06
  I know they,
• 59:08
  Lana has been reaching out to
• 59:09
  me about how excited they are.
• 59:11
  Wanted to make sure we gave
• 59:12
  them a quick shout out on
• 59:13
  the show because this is
• 59:16
  their opportunity to show
• 59:17
  that they can bring some people and,
• 59:20
  and show what they have to,
• 59:21
  that they have some stuff
• 59:23
  and to do it out there on the floor.
• 59:24
  So super stoked for them.
• 59:26
  How many people in that division?
• 59:29
  So I think on the women's side,
• 59:30
  it's close to 20.
• 59:32
  And on the men's side,
• 59:32
  I think it's like 12.
• 59:34
  I do.
• 59:34
  I do like the fact that the
• 59:36
  older age groups aren't
• 59:37
  doing like 10 events.
• 59:39
  Um,
• 59:40
  and certain movements were taken out
• 59:42
  for consideration of, um,
• 59:44
  what it would look like maybe,
• 59:46
  and just the volume that I would,
• 59:47
  it would take.
• 59:48
  So I think that that's smart.
• 59:49
  I like that, that, that was, um,
• 59:52
  take it into account.
• 59:54
  Yeah.
• 59:56
  All right,
• 59:56
  next up on the list is a couple
• 59:58
  names to look for in the
• 59:59
  different divisions.
• 1:00:01
  And this is just me,
• 1:00:02
  my thoughts of watching
• 1:00:04
  Masters for so many years,
• 1:00:05
  and my thoughts of who to watch out for.
• 1:00:07
  So I just want to give you
• 1:00:08
  guys some names since you
• 1:00:09
  are going to be watching the stream.
• 1:00:11
  And maybe you want to know
• 1:00:12
  who you want to look for,
• 1:00:13
  who might do well in the 35
• 1:00:16
  to 39-year-old division.
• 1:00:17
  I'll start with the women.
• 1:00:19
  People I think you should
• 1:00:19
  keep an eye on are Andrea Nistler,
• 1:00:23
  Caroline Klutz,
• 1:00:25
  Holly Henderson,
• 1:00:27
  longtime semifinal athlete.
• 1:00:30
  This is her opportunity to
• 1:00:31
  do something big.
• 1:00:32
  And then, of course, Kelly Kelly,
• 1:00:34
  formerly known as Kelly Clark,
• 1:00:36
  who just two short years
• 1:00:37
  ago was one point away from
• 1:00:39
  making the CrossFit Games.
• 1:00:40
  And she'll be competing in the 35 to 39.
• 1:00:44
  On the men's side,
• 1:00:45
  I think your favorite is Will Morad.
• 1:00:48
  Yeah.
• 1:00:49
  Uh, but to compete with him,
• 1:00:51
  you'll have Bronislaw Alinkowitz, uh,
• 1:00:53
  right there with him.
• 1:00:54
  Chase Smith,
• 1:00:55
  who competed in the West
• 1:00:56
  semifinal this year will be
• 1:00:58
  competing in the 35 to 39.
• 1:01:00
  And Mark Hutchinson always
• 1:01:02
  comes to play in in-person events.
• 1:01:04
  Uh,
• 1:01:04
  if he can hold on for the entire weekend,
• 1:01:07
  he will be someone to watch
• 1:01:08
  40 to 44 year old women, uh,
• 1:01:13
  My favorite is Jamie Latimer.
• 1:01:15
  I don't know if you've heard of her,
• 1:01:16
  but whenever she gets into
• 1:01:18
  an in-person competition, she is a savage,
• 1:01:21
  straight-up savage,
• 1:01:23
  and I can't wait to see her
• 1:01:24
  finally at the CrossFit Games.
• 1:01:25
  No one deserves it more than she does.
• 1:01:27
  Thank you.
• 1:01:28
  Also,
• 1:01:29
  you got to keep an eye on Kelly
• 1:01:30
  Jackson Essig.
• 1:01:32
  Kelly Jackson's been around
• 1:01:33
  the sport a real long time,
• 1:01:36
  is going to be a fierce competitor.
• 1:01:38
  Carleen Matthews podiumed at
• 1:01:40
  the Masters CrossFit Games
• 1:01:42
  in the 35- to 39-year-old division.
• 1:01:44
  So she has a good shot at
• 1:01:46
  doing so in the 40-44.
• 1:01:49
  And then you have to look
• 1:01:50
  out for legend Rebecca Voigt-Miller.
• 1:01:52
  She's always there and
• 1:01:53
  always in contention.
• 1:01:54
  And finally, just kind of a wild card,
• 1:01:57
  is Megan Apostolaris.
• 1:01:59
  She was at Legends last year.
• 1:02:02
  She's a really good athlete.
• 1:02:03
  Top 10 all the time.
• 1:02:04
  Made the games last year.
• 1:02:05
  I think she will do well this year.
• 1:02:08
  If we move to men 40-44...
• 1:02:11
  Rudy Berger, my friend,
• 1:02:13
  two-time CrossFit Games champion.
• 1:02:16
  He's there defending for the
• 1:02:17
  third year in a row.
• 1:02:18
  Should be watching for him.
• 1:02:20
  Guido Trinidad is competing
• 1:02:22
  in that division.
• 1:02:23
  If you don't know who he is,
• 1:02:25
  he's the one who started
• 1:02:25
  Wadapalooza many years ago
• 1:02:28
  and is an OG CrossFitter
• 1:02:30
  and will do well.
• 1:02:31
  James St.
• 1:02:32
  Ledger, we just interviewed him this week.
• 1:02:35
  He is coming in in the top five.
• 1:02:37
  He has a great shot at this.
• 1:02:39
  Julian Cerna is the number
• 1:02:41
  one seed coming in,
• 1:02:43
  and he is from Brazil.
• 1:02:46
  I'm always skeptical of
• 1:02:47
  those South American athletes.
• 1:02:48
  He's just from Brazil.
• 1:02:51
  He trains at Training Think Tank.
• 1:02:52
  Well, he's not always there,
• 1:02:55
  but he's a longtime
• 1:02:56
  Training Think Tank athlete.
• 1:02:58
  And my wild card for this is Brett Owsley.
• 1:03:01
  Comes in in the top 10 qualifying.
• 1:03:04
  And I think he has a shot as well.
• 1:03:06
  So watch out for him.
• 1:03:08
  Then in the 45 to 49-year-old women,
• 1:03:11
  can't beat Kelly Friel.
• 1:03:12
  The woman has two silvers
• 1:03:13
  and now three golds.
• 1:03:15
  Back to back, she is defending her title.
• 1:03:17
  But...
• 1:03:18
  someone came out of
• 1:03:19
  retirement named val vobral
• 1:03:21
  in that division who could
• 1:03:23
  go up against her so that's
• 1:03:24
  a great um that's a great
• 1:03:27
  match up there and don't
• 1:03:28
  forget about deanna posey
• 1:03:30
  as well in that division
• 1:03:31
  she'll do well um as well
• 1:03:35
  then we go to the men uh
• 1:03:37
  jason grubb gosh what four
• 1:03:38
  time in a row champion
• 1:03:41
  Got to put him first.
• 1:03:43
  But Kane Hayes is a fierce competitor.
• 1:03:46
  He could give him a run.
• 1:03:47
  Mike Kern is always in that run as well.
• 1:03:51
  But the dark horse is Chris Anderson,
• 1:03:53
  the guy podiumed last year
• 1:03:54
  at the CrossFit Games.
• 1:03:56
  He does not look like he
• 1:03:57
  belongs out on the floor
• 1:03:58
  with the rest of the athletes,
• 1:04:00
  but he has impeccable
• 1:04:01
  technique and is so
• 1:04:03
  efficient with all of his moves.
• 1:04:06
  So make sure to watch out
• 1:04:06
  for Chris Anderson.
• 1:04:09
  And then we move to the 50 to 54.
• 1:04:13
  Division women, Cheryl Brost,
• 1:04:16
  you can never count her out.
• 1:04:17
  Seven times Masters Games athlete,
• 1:04:19
  plus three-time elite
• 1:04:21
  athlete at the Games,
• 1:04:22
  and she's won the Games three times.
• 1:04:24
  So you have to have Cheryl Brost up there.
• 1:04:27
  Jennifer Dieter, great athlete.
• 1:04:29
  She won Legends last year.
• 1:04:31
  And Dee Dee Hoffman,
• 1:04:32
  the greatest athlete you
• 1:04:33
  would never have seen
• 1:04:34
  because she suffered a
• 1:04:36
  severe knee injury right
• 1:04:37
  before the CrossFit Games
• 1:04:38
  when she qualified a couple years ago.
• 1:04:40
  But I'm hoping she's back
• 1:04:41
  from that knee injury,
• 1:04:43
  and you'll see something
• 1:04:44
  special from DeeDee Hoffman in the 50-54.
• 1:04:46
  On the men's side,
• 1:04:49
  Joel Hughes comes in as the
• 1:04:50
  number one seed.
• 1:04:51
  And if you don't know this,
• 1:04:52
  he was the original
• 1:04:54
  training partner of Ariel Lowen.
• 1:04:56
  um, before Joel, she trained with Joel.
• 1:04:59
  Um, he won the games in 2021 or 2019.
• 1:05:02
  I'm sorry, 2019.
• 1:05:04
  And is coming back five
• 1:05:05
  years later now in his new division, uh,
• 1:05:08
  to take a shot.
• 1:05:08
  So he has a great shot.
• 1:05:10
  Um,
• 1:05:10
  but keep an eye on Justin LaSala as well.
• 1:05:13
  And the women 55 to 59,
• 1:05:16
  my favorite is Tia Vesser.
• 1:05:17
  She comes in as the number two seed.
• 1:05:19
  She is a phenomenal athlete.
• 1:05:21
  I've known her for years.
• 1:05:22
  She won the games in 2021.
• 1:05:25
  So I think she has a good
• 1:05:26
  shot at doing it.
• 1:05:27
  She did that in 50 to 54.
• 1:05:29
  She's now 55 to 59.
• 1:05:31
  So check that out.
• 1:05:32
  And Cherianne Benoit is also
• 1:05:34
  competing that you need to
• 1:05:35
  take a look at there.
• 1:05:37
  And something just popped up.
• 1:05:38
  There we go.
• 1:05:40
  And then on the men's side,
• 1:05:41
  I have Albert Police and Lon Allen.
• 1:05:44
  Lon Allen is just, he's just an animal.
• 1:05:48
  He's a really good grit guy
• 1:05:50
  in that 55 to 59 range.
• 1:05:54
  And just keep a look out for that.
• 1:05:57
  60 to 64, Lynn Watt is always there.
• 1:06:00
  Got to interview her after
• 1:06:01
  she won Legends last year.
• 1:06:03
  She's going to be a force to reckon with.
• 1:06:05
  And Lori Mishnick.
• 1:06:10
  I can never pronounce your name,
• 1:06:11
  but I always see you're on
• 1:06:12
  the leaderboard and I
• 1:06:13
  always see you're out on
• 1:06:13
  the floor doing well.
• 1:06:15
  So take a look there.
• 1:06:16
  And then men, 60, 64,
• 1:06:18
  Patrick McCarty been around forever.
• 1:06:20
  And Tony Tursky is just, I love that man.
• 1:06:24
  And I'm always going to mention his name.
• 1:06:26
  The guy is an emotional.
• 1:06:29
  He's just a, he's like just real dude,
• 1:06:32
  a real good guy.
• 1:06:33
  And I'll always root for Tony Tursky.
• 1:06:37
  65 plus women.
• 1:06:38
  Who else would I root for but Denise Moore,
• 1:06:40
  who's always in our chat
• 1:06:41
  and always supporting the show.
• 1:06:43
  And she was a top five games
• 1:06:45
  athlete last year,
• 1:06:45
  if I remember correctly.
• 1:06:47
  And then Julie Holt is the
• 1:06:49
  defending champ.
• 1:06:50
  So got to give her her love as well.
• 1:06:53
  And then on the men's side,
• 1:06:54
  David Hippensteel and Matt Bell.
• 1:06:57
  Matt Bell's another one of
• 1:06:58
  those gritty athletes
• 1:06:59
  that's just doing what he can to win.
• 1:07:02
  So if anybody's going to
• 1:07:04
  upset David Hippensteel,
• 1:07:05
  I'm going with Matt Bell.
• 1:07:08
  And that is my people to watch.
• 1:07:10
  I went through that fast
• 1:07:11
  because we are running late.
• 1:07:13
  But I know that not
• 1:07:14
  everybody watches the
• 1:07:16
  Masters as much as I do.
• 1:07:19
  So I just wanted to give you
• 1:07:20
  some names to kind of look out for there.
• 1:07:24
  We're going to do some coverage next week.
• 1:07:26
  Carolyn and I will do some
• 1:07:27
  wrap-up shows every night,
• 1:07:30
  hopefully around 9 Eastern time,
• 1:07:33
  8 Central,
• 1:07:35
  because these games will be
• 1:07:36
  held in the Central time zone.
• 1:07:41
  so I will do that then um I
• 1:07:44
  was going to ask who tried
• 1:07:45
  these wads I know some
• 1:07:47
  people in the chat have
• 1:07:47
  tried the wads I know
• 1:07:49
  jamie's tried the wads with
• 1:07:51
  a week out is that plenty
• 1:07:53
  of time to test as many uh
• 1:07:56
  wads as you can or are you
• 1:07:58
  are you guys just picking
• 1:07:59
  the couple you want to kind
• 1:08:00
  of feel and letting the
• 1:08:02
  other ones ride you want to
• 1:08:06
  know what I'm doing
• 1:08:08
  I don't know.
• 1:08:08
  I don't,
• 1:08:09
  I don't know that it's enough time
• 1:08:10
  to try to test these all.
• 1:08:13
  Um, I don't know,
• 1:08:15
  maybe pick the couple that
• 1:08:16
  you want to figure out pacing strategy on,
• 1:08:19
  pick a couple implements
• 1:08:20
  from a couple of the
• 1:08:21
  movements and throw them to
• 1:08:23
  throw them together.
• 1:08:23
  Um, like if I was in your position,
• 1:08:28
  I got workouts a week
• 1:08:29
  before I would maybe get
• 1:08:31
  certain athletes to do the workouts.
• 1:08:32
  And I just,
• 1:08:33
  sometimes I just want to watch
• 1:08:34
  them do it just so I can visually see
• 1:08:36
  what they look like, look at their paces,
• 1:08:38
  stuff like that.
• 1:08:39
  So like that could be a good idea for,
• 1:08:41
  for people to do is get
• 1:08:43
  someone to do the workout
• 1:08:45
  and get some feedback there.
• 1:08:47
  If you don't have the time
• 1:08:48
  to actually physically do, do the wads.
• 1:08:50
  But I think that's a good idea.
• 1:08:52
  Like you said, just doing parts of stuff,
• 1:08:54
  playing around.
• 1:08:54
  But I think the week before the games,
• 1:08:56
  it's important to feel confident,
• 1:08:58
  to feel as healthy as
• 1:09:00
  possible and to not overdo it.
• 1:09:06
  What I think is funny is
• 1:09:07
  when your friend starts
• 1:09:08
  texting you and saying, hey,
• 1:09:10
  check this out on my YouTube channel.
• 1:09:13
  And there's workout one.
• 1:09:14
  And then 20 minutes later,
• 1:09:15
  here comes workout two.
• 1:09:17
  And then here comes workout three.
• 1:09:19
  And I'm like, oh, my God.
• 1:09:20
  If there's an actual event,
• 1:09:21
  you'll get more rest than this.
• 1:09:23
  Yeah, it'll be fine.
• 1:09:29
  What is she doing?
• 1:09:33
  I'm weird.
• 1:09:35
  Nobody should listen to me.
• 1:09:41
  Yeah.
• 1:09:42
  That was funny.
• 1:09:43
  That was really funny.
• 1:09:45
  I don't want to like gloss over this,
• 1:09:47
  but we're running late in
• 1:09:47
  the show and I don't want
• 1:09:48
  to be here all night.
• 1:09:49
  The teens are going this weekend as well.
• 1:09:51
  They are being live streamed.
• 1:09:53
  Please show them some love as well.
• 1:09:54
  We were going to go through
• 1:09:55
  their workouts.
• 1:09:56
  We're not going to do that tonight.
• 1:09:58
  We, we took too long on the masters,
• 1:10:00
  but that's where our focus is this year.
• 1:10:02
  And I'm not going to
• 1:10:03
  apologize for that either.
• 1:10:05
  We have, before the season started,
• 1:10:07
  our focus was going to be
• 1:10:08
  on Masters athletes because
• 1:10:11
  that's who we wanted to cover,
• 1:10:13
  and that's what we're doing,
• 1:10:14
  along with the elite athletes.
• 1:10:16
  So cheer on those teen athletes.
• 1:10:19
  We're going to try to keep...
• 1:10:21
  Some of those stories going
• 1:10:22
  where there's a teen
• 1:10:23
  athlete and a master's
• 1:10:24
  athlete family member
• 1:10:26
  competing at the same time.
• 1:10:28
  I'm going to try to get
• 1:10:28
  footage of mom watching daughter.
• 1:10:31
  Um,
• 1:10:31
  some things like that for our behind
• 1:10:32
  the scenes.
• 1:10:34
  And so we can see how that
• 1:10:35
  goes and follow those
• 1:10:35
  stories through the weekend.
• 1:10:39
  Um,
• 1:10:40
  what a Palooza SoCal announced an
• 1:10:41
  amended lineup and captain's picks, uh,
• 1:10:46
  Because of the tragedy from
• 1:10:47
  Fort Worth and the passing of Lazar,
• 1:10:52
  they had to replace him on the team.
• 1:10:55
  And then some other people
• 1:10:56
  due to injury had to withdraw,
• 1:10:57
  including Roman Krennikoff
• 1:10:59
  and Ricky Gerard.
• 1:11:01
  So they had to replace those people.
• 1:11:03
  And then the captains were selected,
• 1:11:06
  which ended up being Tia
• 1:11:09
  Claire Toomey and Patrick
• 1:11:11
  Vellner and Danielle Brandon and BKG.
• 1:11:16
  Uh,
• 1:11:17
  so the final lineups are team world is
• 1:11:20
  BKG, Guy Mejeros, uh, Enola Kai,
• 1:11:25
  Brent Fikowski.
• 1:11:26
  Many believe that even
• 1:11:27
  though he is in North America,
• 1:11:29
  that they were so short
• 1:11:31
  because of the injuries
• 1:11:32
  that Brent volunteered to
• 1:11:33
  go on team world.
• 1:11:35
  Um, but that's speculation at this point.
• 1:11:38
  Uh, Tia Claire Toomey, Emma Tall,
• 1:11:40
  Sahir Kaya, and Gracie Walton.
• 1:11:43
  Gracie Walton was a captain's pick,
• 1:11:46
  and I believe Brent
• 1:11:48
  Fikowski was a captain's pick.
• 1:11:52
  For Team North America,
• 1:11:53
  it's Patrick Vellner, Jeffrey Adler,
• 1:11:56
  Justin Medeiros, Dallin Pepper,
• 1:11:58
  Danielle Brandon, Alexis Raptus,
• 1:12:01
  Ariel Lowen, and Emily Rolfe.
• 1:12:03
  Dallin Pepper and Emily
• 1:12:04
  Rolfe being the captain's picks on that.
• 1:12:07
  So, yeah.
• 1:12:12
  Super fun there.
• 1:12:15
  I've talked to eCaptures.
• 1:12:17
  We're trying to get him
• 1:12:18
  credentials to take
• 1:12:19
  pictures for us again at that event.
• 1:12:22
  And then Amanda Hari is
• 1:12:23
  competing there in one of
• 1:12:25
  the community events.
• 1:12:26
  And she's going to come on
• 1:12:27
  and share what she cites
• 1:12:29
  and scenes from the event
• 1:12:31
  during that weekend as well.
• 1:12:34
  So we'll have some coverage from that.
• 1:12:38
  Uh,
• 1:12:38
  nasty Nelson's thanks for sharing our
• 1:12:40
  Birmingham pickleball
• 1:12:41
  roundup on Instagram.
• 1:12:42
  Uh,
• 1:12:42
  looking forward to having the games
• 1:12:44
  downtown safe travels to
• 1:12:46
  anyone headed down to the ham.
• 1:12:48
  Uh, yeah, they, uh, they asked if I shared,
• 1:12:50
  they're having a pickleball
• 1:12:51
  event the weekend of the
• 1:12:53
  CrossFit games in Birmingham.
• 1:12:55
  So, uh, and,
• 1:12:56
  and inviting people to come
• 1:12:57
  over and hang out at their
• 1:12:59
  pickleball tournament.
• 1:13:01
  So make sure to go check
• 1:13:03
  that out on Instagram.
• 1:13:07
  We're going to finish up
• 1:13:08
  with the PFAA makes a list of demands.
• 1:13:13
  This has been covered a lot this week.
• 1:13:16
  If you haven't heard,
• 1:13:16
  I'm going to do this very succinctly.
• 1:13:20
  They have asked for three things.
• 1:13:22
  They put it as a demand.
• 1:13:24
  I don't know if I love that word,
• 1:13:27
  but the PFAA represents the
• 1:13:29
  interest of the athletes
• 1:13:30
  competing at the CrossFit Games.
• 1:13:33
  they said that they would
• 1:13:36
  demand an appropriate level
• 1:13:37
  of transparency between
• 1:13:38
  CrossFit and the PFA
• 1:13:39
  regarding the third-party
• 1:13:40
  investigation as to the
• 1:13:42
  death of Lazar Jukic.
• 1:13:44
  Then demand two was we
• 1:13:46
  demand CrossFit create an
• 1:13:47
  independent safety team to
• 1:13:48
  liaise with the PFA on an ongoing basis.
• 1:13:52
  Number three,
• 1:13:52
  we demand that Dave Castro be
• 1:13:54
  removed from his position
• 1:13:56
  in the sport team.
• 1:13:59
  These demands reflect the
• 1:14:00
  immediate steps necessary
• 1:14:02
  to begin to restore athlete
• 1:14:03
  trust in CrossFit the sport.
• 1:14:06
  And it goes on,
• 1:14:07
  and it's signed by the
• 1:14:08
  board members of the PFAA.
• 1:14:12
  So I wanted to give you guys,
• 1:14:14
  I have some thoughts on this,
• 1:14:16
  but I wanted to give you
• 1:14:17
  guys an opportunity to
• 1:14:18
  share your thoughts on this as well.
• 1:14:24
  I mean, for me, I'm a little confused.
• 1:14:26
  That's like Brent and Pat,
• 1:14:29
  and they're all willing to
• 1:14:30
  go compete at Wadapalooza
• 1:14:34
  SoCal without any... I mean,
• 1:14:37
  that's a CrossFit-licensed event,
• 1:14:38
  correct?
• 1:14:39
  It's not.
• 1:14:40
  Oh, did they remove their license?
• 1:14:41
  Wadapalooza hasn't been
• 1:14:42
  CrossFit-licensed in a while.
• 1:14:44
  Okay.
• 1:14:45
  Well, then, okay.
• 1:14:48
  I guess they can do what
• 1:14:50
  they want if they aren't going to
• 1:14:52
  step foot on a CrossFit event floor.
• 1:14:55
  I don't think it says that.
• 1:14:56
  It just says restore the
• 1:14:57
  trust in the sport.
• 1:14:58
  Yeah, but I mean, if you make the... Well,
• 1:15:01
  if Dave doesn't get removed, to me,
• 1:15:05
  that would mean they're not
• 1:15:06
  participating in CrossFit
• 1:15:07
  events until these... See,
• 1:15:10
  I think that's the problem
• 1:15:11
  with the way this was written.
• 1:15:12
  They don't tell you what the
• 1:15:14
  outcome is if they aren't met.
• 1:15:18
  They just said their trust
• 1:15:19
  wouldn't be there.
• 1:15:20
  It doesn't say they wouldn't compete.
• 1:15:24
  So, Carolyn, do you have any thoughts?
• 1:15:27
  Well, the first two are pretty, to me,
• 1:15:29
  self-explanatory.
• 1:15:30
  I don't think anyone would
• 1:15:31
  have anything to say on that.
• 1:15:33
  I'm just curious for the Dave Castro part,
• 1:15:38
  whether it was just those
• 1:15:39
  athletes that signed and it
• 1:15:41
  was just a group decision
• 1:15:42
  between them or if there
• 1:15:43
  was anything that was
• 1:15:44
  reached out to the games
• 1:15:46
  athletes from this year.
• 1:15:48
  or a bigger pool of athletes
• 1:15:50
  to generate more input behind,
• 1:15:53
  behind that ask.
• 1:15:55
  I still think it's early on
• 1:15:58
  in the investigation to
• 1:15:59
  pinpoint someone specifically.
• 1:16:03
  I think that they could hold
• 1:16:04
  off on maybe that part.
• 1:16:08
  Oh, that was me.
• 1:16:12
  Nope.
• 1:16:12
  It looks like your internet
• 1:16:15
  cut out just for us right
• 1:16:16
  in the middle of the great point.
• 1:16:18
  Well,
• 1:16:20
  I was saying that I feel they could
• 1:16:23
  wait on the investigation
• 1:16:24
  to be over to know whether it's him,
• 1:16:27
  it's him and other people or, you know,
• 1:16:30
  I think there's a lot more
• 1:16:31
  to be known in this tragic incident.
• 1:16:37
  And I'm just not sure if it
• 1:16:42
  was also communicated
• 1:16:44
  outside of that group that signed.
• 1:16:49
  I mean, we all know what we saw,
• 1:16:51
  and in my opinion,
• 1:16:54
  was very preventable in
• 1:16:56
  terms of the response factor to Lazar,
• 1:17:04
  or lack of response, I should say.
• 1:17:06
  And who is to blame,
• 1:17:08
  I don't know right now.
• 1:17:10
  And until that part is
• 1:17:11
  specifically whether
• 1:17:13
  It's the safety team that
• 1:17:14
  was hired or the execution of that.
• 1:17:17
  We just don't know enough
• 1:17:18
  information to call for
• 1:17:23
  someone's job yet.
• 1:17:25
  Do I think someone will have
• 1:17:27
  to pay for what happened?
• 1:17:29
  I do believe so.
• 1:17:31
  I just don't know who or how many people.
• 1:17:36
  Can I ask you a question, Carolyn?
• 1:17:37
  You're a three-time games athlete.
• 1:17:40
  You've competed at the highest level.
• 1:17:42
  Have you ever been asked by
• 1:17:44
  the PFAA to become a member?
• 1:17:46
  Yes.
• 1:17:48
  You have?
• 1:17:49
  Yes.
• 1:17:49
  And is there a process to become a member?
• 1:17:53
  I was a member the last few years.
• 1:17:57
  I would just get information
• 1:17:58
  sent by Grace through email,
• 1:18:02
  and it was just what they're working on.
• 1:18:04
  And if we have other input or questions,
• 1:18:06
  just email them back type thing.
• 1:18:09
  I believe I still get some of the PFA.
• 1:18:11
  I don't know if it just gets
• 1:18:12
  sent out to people in general,
• 1:18:15
  but I didn't receive like a
• 1:18:17
  specific survey or anything
• 1:18:20
  in regards to the incident
• 1:18:22
  at the games or anything
• 1:18:23
  like that going forward.
• 1:18:25
  So I'm not sure if I'm still a part of it.
• 1:18:27
  I know I was part of the
• 1:18:28
  group at some point.
• 1:18:32
  So that's where my confusion is right now,
• 1:18:35
  is who does the PFAA represent?
• 1:18:38
  Because I don't know.
• 1:18:39
  I didn't know that athletes
• 1:18:42
  were invited to join.
• 1:18:44
  I knew they had a meeting
• 1:18:45
  after semifinals last year
• 1:18:48
  in a couple locations.
• 1:18:49
  And then after the games last year,
• 1:18:51
  they had another meeting.
• 1:18:53
  but never have I heard like
• 1:18:55
  who they represent,
• 1:18:57
  who is on the roster of membership.
• 1:18:59
  I've belonged to
• 1:19:00
  professional associations for my job.
• 1:19:03
  And with that are like
• 1:19:04
  bylaws of what you are,
• 1:19:07
  of what it takes to become a member,
• 1:19:09
  what the dues are to become a member.
• 1:19:12
  And my fear is that the PFAA
• 1:19:16
  is stepping ahead of the athletic,
• 1:19:20
  the athlete body.
• 1:19:22
  and not getting, like you said,
• 1:19:24
  you don't know if they got
• 1:19:25
  the input of anybody else,
• 1:19:26
  but it just feels like it's
• 1:19:28
  moving forward without that input.
• 1:19:30
  And I don't even know who
• 1:19:32
  that input would be from
• 1:19:34
  because I've talked to a
• 1:19:35
  lot of like semi-final athletes.
• 1:19:36
  They've never been asked to join.
• 1:19:39
  I've talked to Masters athletes.
• 1:19:40
  They've never been asked to join.
• 1:19:43
  I think they've kept it so far.
• 1:19:46
  As far as I know,
• 1:19:47
  the athletes that are
• 1:19:49
  currently competing at the games are
• 1:19:51
  Um, last year after the games,
• 1:19:53
  I was sent an email, uh, by Brent.
• 1:19:55
  If I wanted to stay with the
• 1:19:57
  meeting that you're talking about,
• 1:19:58
  like after the games,
• 1:19:59
  and then if you couldn't stay,
• 1:20:00
  cause you have to travel,
• 1:20:01
  then we just got emailed
• 1:20:03
  like the minutes of, of the meeting.
• 1:20:05
  Um,
• 1:20:06
  I think there was also a video on
• 1:20:08
  YouTube that we could watch
• 1:20:09
  of the discussions that
• 1:20:10
  were had going forward,
• 1:20:12
  but I didn't get anything this year.
• 1:20:14
  So I don't know if it's just
• 1:20:15
  cause I've been two years
• 1:20:15
  now out removed and the
• 1:20:18
  year that I was there last year, um,
• 1:20:20
  I was closer to the last
• 1:20:22
  time I competed there.
• 1:20:24
  The first line of, of the,
• 1:20:25
  the thing put out says the
• 1:20:28
  PFA represents the interest
• 1:20:30
  of athletes competing in
• 1:20:32
  the CrossFit game season.
• 1:20:34
  That is a CrossFit game
• 1:20:36
  season is the open until the end.
• 1:20:39
  That's a large number.
• 1:20:41
  I compete in the open.
• 1:20:42
  I've never got an invite to
• 1:20:44
  be a part of the PFA.
• 1:20:46
  And I don't think they'd
• 1:20:47
  want me as a part of it.
• 1:20:48
  Right?
• 1:20:48
  Like,
• 1:20:49
  I think they really mean the
• 1:20:51
  CrossFit Games individual athletes.
• 1:20:55
  Where would it stop?
• 1:20:56
  People are in and out of the
• 1:21:00
  sport too much.
• 1:21:02
  I think they're looking for
• 1:21:03
  people that are
• 1:21:05
  consistently at the Games
• 1:21:06
  and have maybe even more
• 1:21:07
  and from different regions
• 1:21:08
  of the world to get some
• 1:21:09
  input on maybe what's going
• 1:21:10
  on at their semifinals
• 1:21:13
  versus another semifinals.
• 1:21:14
  I think the people that are
• 1:21:15
  on the list right now
• 1:21:16
  represent different regions.
• 1:21:20
  Here's my thing.
• 1:21:21
  I'm going to say this one more time.
• 1:21:22
  I,
• 1:21:23
  as a member of professional associations
• 1:21:24
  at work, we have to pay dues.
• 1:21:27
  We're on a roster.
• 1:21:28
  That professional
• 1:21:29
  association has to publish
• 1:21:33
  the list of who is a member
• 1:21:34
  of that association.
• 1:21:36
  The PFAA has done none of
• 1:21:38
  that to my recollection.
• 1:21:39
  There's nowhere where I can
• 1:21:40
  go and see a roster of
• 1:21:41
  athletes that they represent.
• 1:21:44
  I think that is an important
• 1:21:46
  step that needs to be taken
• 1:21:48
  before you make demands of
• 1:21:49
  any kind so that we know
• 1:21:52
  who it is that's saying this.
• 1:21:53
  Because ultimately...
• 1:21:56
  The games were, was the perfect,
• 1:21:57
  and I have nothing against the PFA.
• 1:21:59
  I think athletes do need a voice.
• 1:22:01
  I think they do need representation.
• 1:22:03
  I just wish they would be
• 1:22:04
  more formal about it.
• 1:22:06
  So we'd know who that voice is for.
• 1:22:10
  they had the opportune time
• 1:22:11
  at the games with what happened to say,
• 1:22:14
  okay guys,
• 1:22:15
  we need to get our ducks in a
• 1:22:16
  row and we need to send out,
• 1:22:18
  fill out this form to tell
• 1:22:20
  me that you're going to be
• 1:22:20
  a member of the PFAA and we
• 1:22:22
  will represent our
• 1:22:24
  interests as an athlete body whole.
• 1:22:27
  And then you could say, this is the PFAA.
• 1:22:30
  We represent 92% of CrossFit
• 1:22:33
  games athletes.
• 1:22:34
  And then that holds water.
• 1:22:38
  Just saying you represent
• 1:22:39
  the interests of athletes is very vague,
• 1:22:42
  and it doesn't hold the
• 1:22:43
  water that it could hold if
• 1:22:45
  they just take another step.
• 1:22:48
  For me, this is a personal opinion.
• 1:22:53
  Now,
• 1:22:54
  if you're saying that these are the
• 1:22:55
  demands going forward,
• 1:22:58
  I find that you would have
• 1:22:59
  had way more ground had you had your –
• 1:23:04
  put your foot down at the
• 1:23:05
  games and not continue to compete.
• 1:23:07
  Cause if you continue to
• 1:23:08
  compete and then ask for
• 1:23:10
  those demands after and say,
• 1:23:11
  now we won't compete in anything else.
• 1:23:13
  CrossFit related to me, it's like, okay,
• 1:23:18
  you got, you know,
• 1:23:19
  your money or whatever.
• 1:23:22
  And now you're ready to,
• 1:23:25
  To me, that part didn't look as good,
• 1:23:27
  but what part of the weekend looked good?
• 1:23:30
  Who am I to judge from my position?
• 1:23:34
  But no one was on the same page.
• 1:23:37
  And I don't think that still
• 1:23:39
  right now people are on the
• 1:23:40
  same page if you look at the comments.
• 1:23:42
  So it would be good to have
• 1:23:46
  more than those names sign
• 1:23:48
  and say how much of the
• 1:23:49
  athletes are being
• 1:23:50
  represented like you said
• 1:23:52
  um yeah it's it's a it's a
• 1:23:56
  tough one I think we're
• 1:23:57
  very divided right now in
• 1:23:58
  our community it's uh it's
• 1:24:01
  a lot of people are hurting
• 1:24:03
  like it it's I've never
• 1:24:05
  seen the community as divided as as it
• 1:24:10
  And the issue is that I'm
• 1:24:11
  sure the athletes are as
• 1:24:12
  divided as everybody else.
• 1:24:14
  And so to say that you
• 1:24:16
  represent them all just
• 1:24:17
  doesn't ring true unless
• 1:24:20
  you guys took a vote that you did.
• 1:24:23
  And here's my next piece of this.
• 1:24:25
  Now PFAA is working with
• 1:24:28
  Guadalupalooza SoCal.
• 1:24:29
  They're working with the
• 1:24:31
  NorCal Classic to ensure
• 1:24:33
  safety and fair competition.
• 1:24:38
  Now you're jumping into this
• 1:24:39
  and we still don't know who
• 1:24:40
  you represent.
• 1:24:41
  And those aren't necessarily
• 1:24:42
  games athletes now, right?
• 1:24:44
  Like when you go to NorCal classic,
• 1:24:47
  you compete there, you're a games athlete,
• 1:24:49
  but the majority of the
• 1:24:50
  people that compete there
• 1:24:51
  are your semifinal athletes, right?
• 1:24:55
  I think they need to like
• 1:24:57
  come down to that level.
• 1:24:58
  One,
• 1:24:59
  you're going to boost membership by a
• 1:25:01
  hundred fold, um,
• 1:25:03
  by including semifinal
• 1:25:04
  athletes into your association and,
• 1:25:08
  And they'd be willing to pay
• 1:25:09
  dues to have protection in these cases.
• 1:25:12
  But where I'm worried is now
• 1:25:15
  PFA is putting their name
• 1:25:16
  on the safety of these events.
• 1:25:19
  That's a big step to take.
• 1:25:21
  And if you don't even know
• 1:25:24
  who your members are,
• 1:25:26
  are you willing to make that jump?
• 1:25:28
  Because now you're just as
• 1:25:29
  liable as the event is.
• 1:25:32
  Yeah,
• 1:25:32
  like if something happens at an event,
• 1:25:35
  for instance, Waterpalooza.
• 1:25:36
  Waterpalooza had the PFAA with them prior,
• 1:25:40
  and I'll be the first to
• 1:25:41
  say I don't think
• 1:25:42
  Waterpalooza's water safety was safe,
• 1:25:46
  right?
• 1:25:47
  And there's been incidents
• 1:25:48
  there of things being unsafe,
• 1:25:50
  and the PFAA was behind that prior,
• 1:25:54
  whether it was doing wall
• 1:25:55
  walks with a wet platform
• 1:25:56
  or handstand pushups on the
• 1:25:58
  middle of the water somewhere, like
• 1:26:02
  previous years like there's
• 1:26:03
  been things prior so they
• 1:26:07
  are taking a risk by
• 1:26:08
  putting their name and
• 1:26:09
  saying that they're going
• 1:26:09
  to overlook all the safety
• 1:26:10
  things because our sport is
• 1:26:11
  just so unique that a lot
• 1:26:13
  of times we don't know
• 1:26:15
  something is like could
• 1:26:16
  have been done um
• 1:26:19
  differently until something
• 1:26:20
  happens and it's like oh
• 1:26:22
  this person fell from the
• 1:26:24
  rope okay now let's put the
• 1:26:25
  crash mats every time oh this um
• 1:26:29
  this rope is too long for the rope climbs.
• 1:26:31
  Okay.
• 1:26:31
  We need to cut.
• 1:26:32
  Like,
• 1:26:32
  it's almost like we're a very
• 1:26:33
  reaction sports just
• 1:26:34
  because it's still very new.
• 1:26:37
  And I feel like we're
• 1:26:38
  learning a lot as huge
• 1:26:40
  mistakes are happening.
• 1:26:43
  And obviously the worst of
• 1:26:44
  them all happen at the games.
• 1:26:48
  And it's just hard to know
• 1:26:49
  what could happen with the PFA.
• 1:26:51
  Even, even if they do look at the safety,
• 1:26:53
  they may not think of
• 1:26:54
  everything that could possibly happen.
• 1:26:57
  And then it's like, Oh,
• 1:26:58
  well, you signed your name on this.
• 1:27:01
  This was safe.
• 1:27:02
  Why didn't you think about this?
• 1:27:03
  And it is difficult, right?
• 1:27:06
  Like,
• 1:27:06
  I don't think that we're all experts
• 1:27:08
  in this.
• 1:27:09
  I don't know who's an expert
• 1:27:10
  on the PFAA that
• 1:27:12
  can look at the safety of
• 1:27:13
  everything and predict
• 1:27:14
  everything that could happen.
• 1:27:16
  Like it's just, it's tough.
• 1:27:18
  Um, and some things,
• 1:27:19
  some things just happen in sports too,
• 1:27:21
  but it's, if I'm,
• 1:27:22
  if I'm an elite athlete now
• 1:27:24
  and I've got the,
• 1:27:25
  the professional
• 1:27:26
  organization representing
• 1:27:27
  me saying that we have,
• 1:27:29
  we feel this is safe because we,
• 1:27:31
  the PFA have looked over
• 1:27:33
  the workouts for what a
• 1:27:34
  blues of SoCal and it's all good.
• 1:27:37
  And they didn't,
• 1:27:38
  they didn't consult me or
• 1:27:40
  give me any say in that.
• 1:27:42
  Like I,
• 1:27:44
  that gets sticky and it's going to
• 1:27:45
  get sticky, stickier.
• 1:27:47
  The more they become
• 1:27:48
  involved without a better
• 1:27:51
  definition of who they are.
• 1:27:57
  And like things,
• 1:27:58
  the movements and stuff can
• 1:27:59
  be safe in CrossFit.
• 1:28:00
  Like in, in the case of Lazar, it was,
• 1:28:03
  it's the,
• 1:28:04
  lack of response, right?
• 1:28:06
  It would be equivalent of like,
• 1:28:07
  let's say Cara in 2020 or
• 1:28:10
  2015 at the games, you know,
• 1:28:12
  she's at the finish line
• 1:28:13
  and we see her struggling
• 1:28:15
  and we don't attend to her
• 1:28:16
  until after the event.
• 1:28:18
  And now we're going to
• 1:28:18
  attend to her and it's too late.
• 1:28:19
  Like that,
• 1:28:20
  that's kind of like almost what
• 1:28:21
  happened versus like the movements,
• 1:28:23
  the swimming was not unsafe
• 1:28:25
  or the movement of a snatch
• 1:28:26
  is not unsafe.
• 1:28:27
  It's like,
• 1:28:28
  it's the waiting of the response
• 1:28:29
  that went horribly wrong in,
• 1:28:31
  in the case of, um,
• 1:28:34
  what happened just the lack
• 1:28:34
  of response right to get to
• 1:28:36
  that point so well it's
• 1:28:38
  it's the approval of the
• 1:28:39
  safety plan I guess that's
• 1:28:42
  that's where it would come
• 1:28:43
  down to and I think a lot a
• 1:28:45
  lot of the safety like the
• 1:28:46
  medical people are scared
• 1:28:47
  sometimes to intervene um
• 1:28:50
  in the middle of a
• 1:28:50
  competition right like
• 1:28:52
  we've been told don't if
• 1:28:53
  you touch the board you're
• 1:28:54
  disqualified like you're
• 1:28:55
  basically taking a minimum
• 1:28:56
  work requirement so like
• 1:28:57
  sometimes the people don't
• 1:28:58
  want to interfere or
• 1:29:00
  touch the athlete in fear
• 1:29:02
  that you could be
• 1:29:03
  disqualifying someone's season.
• 1:29:04
  Right.
• 1:29:04
  So it's that mentality that
• 1:29:06
  we've had for years.
• 1:29:07
  It's like the one girl with
• 1:29:09
  her knee where it's like,
• 1:29:10
  you're told as a medical
• 1:29:12
  sometimes to not even go on the floor and,
• 1:29:15
  and help until the event is over.
• 1:29:18
  Like, it's just,
• 1:29:19
  I think there needs to be
• 1:29:20
  better communication with
• 1:29:22
  the medical and having the
• 1:29:24
  safety of the athlete prior
• 1:29:27
  first before the race.
• 1:29:30
  So the Rebecca Biddison
• 1:29:31
  thing is very different
• 1:29:32
  because that was the
• 1:29:34
  facility's medical team,
• 1:29:35
  not CrossFit's medical team
• 1:29:37
  because of the rules of France.
• 1:29:40
  I have been there and
• 1:29:41
  watched the medical team drill.
• 1:29:44
  Like they have hand signals
• 1:29:46
  and they are really fast if
• 1:29:48
  it's the CrossFit team.
• 1:29:49
  And that team is like they
• 1:29:51
  are first responders, doctors,
• 1:29:54
  high level people in the
• 1:29:56
  medical field that are doing that.
• 1:29:59
  I want to talk about something Lynn said,
• 1:30:01
  which is she disagrees with
• 1:30:03
  me that they don't need to
• 1:30:05
  go for more athletes and such.
• 1:30:07
  The issue is, is me as a professional,
• 1:30:09
  when I joined the
• 1:30:10
  professional association for my work,
• 1:30:13
  I pay dues because I want
• 1:30:14
  them to represent me.
• 1:30:16
  But I also get voting rights
• 1:30:18
  with those dues.
• 1:30:19
  I get voting rights into what they say,
• 1:30:22
  what our bylaws say,
• 1:30:23
  what we can and cannot do.
• 1:30:26
  If the PFAA is skipping that step,
• 1:30:28
  then it's going to hurt
• 1:30:30
  them in the long run.
• 1:30:32
  And again, I want them to exist.
• 1:30:34
  I want the athletes to have a voice.
• 1:30:37
  I just don't want them to
• 1:30:38
  skip the necessary step to
• 1:30:41
  actually be a professional association.
• 1:30:48
  When you are part of a
• 1:30:49
  professional association,
• 1:30:50
  you are paying dues for a
• 1:30:53
  set list of things, for your protection,
• 1:30:56
  for your education,
• 1:30:58
  and with that comes voting
• 1:31:01
  rights on all of that.
• 1:31:06
  Can I address this message
• 1:31:08
  here from Larry that says,
• 1:31:10
  I'll read it for the people
• 1:31:11
  that listen versus watching.
• 1:31:13
  This was the 18th year of
• 1:31:14
  the CrossFit Games.
• 1:31:14
  Everyone says it's still a new sport.
• 1:31:16
  Sure, I agree.
• 1:31:17
  But when are we expecting it to mature?
• 1:31:19
  Just wondering.
• 1:31:20
  It's hard because our sport
• 1:31:21
  is unknown and unknowable
• 1:31:22
  and things are constantly
• 1:31:23
  getting added and it's
• 1:31:25
  different combinations of movements.
• 1:31:27
  And I just like because
• 1:31:28
  there's just different
• 1:31:30
  workouts all the time.
• 1:31:32
  it's always new.
• 1:31:33
  It's always something new
• 1:31:34
  that you're seeing.
• 1:31:34
  That's part of our sport.
• 1:31:37
  It's hard to mature.
• 1:31:39
  We have learned in some instances,
• 1:31:41
  but then sometimes you
• 1:31:42
  don't foresee a certain
• 1:31:44
  piece of equipment doing
• 1:31:45
  something in another way.
• 1:31:48
  I don't know.
• 1:31:49
  Do you agree with that?
• 1:31:51
  I get what you're saying.
• 1:31:51
  It's almost like a new sport every year.
• 1:31:53
  It's a new program.
• 1:31:56
  It's whatever we think is
• 1:31:57
  the fittest on earth based
• 1:31:58
  on this program.
• 1:31:59
  From that year, sometimes it skews one way,
• 1:32:02
  skews another.
• 1:32:02
  Our sport's constantly changing.
• 1:32:05
  I think we've all been
• 1:32:06
  saying that we want it to
• 1:32:07
  be more consistent of a sport,
• 1:32:09
  that we know the rules from
• 1:32:10
  year over year,
• 1:32:11
  that we stick with the same
• 1:32:13
  qualification process to
• 1:32:14
  get to the CrossFit Games.
• 1:32:16
  These are things we've been asking for,
• 1:32:18
  but they keep changing
• 1:32:19
  because leadership changes.
• 1:32:21
  And because of that,
• 1:32:22
  we have not been given the
• 1:32:23
  opportunity to mature.
• 1:32:24
  And we will not mature until
• 1:32:26
  we can get a season
• 1:32:29
  structure settled and
• 1:32:30
  agreed upon and move forward.
• 1:32:33
  And we can't learn about the
• 1:32:34
  safety of a movement
• 1:32:35
  because we can't ask about
• 1:32:36
  the workout and what's
• 1:32:37
  going to be programmed
• 1:32:38
  because we're an athlete
• 1:32:39
  and we're not supposed to
• 1:32:40
  get any leaks anymore.
• 1:32:43
  Right,
• 1:32:43
  and that's where you need to have a
• 1:32:48
  safety commission.
• 1:32:51
  The NFL has a rules
• 1:32:53
  committee that look at the
• 1:32:56
  safety of things,
• 1:32:56
  and they change the rules
• 1:32:58
  every year based on that.
• 1:33:00
  Now,
• 1:33:00
  they don't do like we're changing it
• 1:33:02
  from a 17-game season to a
• 1:33:04
  32-game season.
• 1:33:06
  They don't go way out of whack.
• 1:33:08
  It's tweaking and modifying
• 1:33:09
  things so everything becomes safer.
• 1:33:12
  We basically need a sports
• 1:33:13
  manual is what we talked
• 1:33:15
  about this in our group
• 1:33:17
  chat is it's like these are
• 1:33:18
  the movements for the year.
• 1:33:19
  This is the standard for the
• 1:33:21
  movement when it's in competition.
• 1:33:23
  And if certain things are
• 1:33:25
  like are in different classes,
• 1:33:26
  like lower risk, higher risk,
• 1:33:28
  these are the higher risk movements.
• 1:33:30
  These are the safety protocols.
• 1:33:31
  protocols that you have to
• 1:33:32
  follow if you want to
• 1:33:33
  program this in your
• 1:33:34
  competition and it's
• 1:33:35
  universal and if that
• 1:33:36
  movement's not in that
• 1:33:37
  manual or whatever for the
• 1:33:39
  year you have to wait until
• 1:33:40
  it you know it appears and
• 1:33:42
  we get to see it the
• 1:33:44
  following year after it's
• 1:33:46
  gone explain and there's
• 1:33:47
  videos on it and but some
• 1:33:49
  sort of manual like that
• 1:33:50
  where it's there's some
• 1:33:51
  sort of consistency and I
• 1:33:53
  know that Brent worked on
• 1:33:54
  like a movement list and
• 1:33:57
  all of that so that plus
• 1:33:59
  the safety of it and then
• 1:34:01
  those are the movements you
• 1:34:02
  can draw from for that year.
• 1:34:03
  And it just becomes a little
• 1:34:07
  bit more consistent.
• 1:34:08
  Like you can still have
• 1:34:08
  varied movements and workouts,
• 1:34:13
  but at least there's a
• 1:34:14
  little bit more of
• 1:34:15
  consistency between events.
• 1:34:17
  But again, some people will be like, well,
• 1:34:19
  then you're the variance of
• 1:34:21
  the movement is an adaptability.
• 1:34:23
  You have to be able to adapt
• 1:34:24
  to the movements.
• 1:34:25
  And if you only practice one standard,
• 1:34:27
  you don't, you know, you're not,
• 1:34:28
  you're not getting fitter
• 1:34:29
  because you're not,
• 1:34:31
  adapting constantly.
• 1:34:32
  So I don't know what the solution is.
• 1:34:33
  But if I were king for a day
• 1:34:35
  and I was the head of the PFAA,
• 1:34:38
  I would want dues so that I
• 1:34:40
  could hire somebody to write that manual.
• 1:34:42
  It shouldn't be Brent who's
• 1:34:43
  training all year and has
• 1:34:45
  no time on his hands.
• 1:34:46
  They should collect dues
• 1:34:48
  from the athletes who want
• 1:34:49
  to be a part of it,
• 1:34:50
  who want representation,
• 1:34:51
  and then hire someone out
• 1:34:52
  to write that manual and
• 1:34:54
  then approve it once it comes back,
• 1:34:56
  right?
• 1:34:57
  Your voting members then
• 1:34:58
  approve all these things.
• 1:35:01
  That's how it should work.
• 1:35:03
  The problem is Brent's
• 1:35:04
  trying to do everything by
• 1:35:05
  himself because they're
• 1:35:06
  doing it on the cheap and they're not,
• 1:35:08
  they are not formed as an
• 1:35:10
  official association with
• 1:35:12
  dues and board members and
• 1:35:14
  elections and all the
• 1:35:15
  things that come with that.
• 1:35:20
  And with that,
• 1:35:21
  that's enough for tonight on that.
• 1:35:23
  Well,
• 1:35:23
  I'm sure we'll keep talking about
• 1:35:25
  that this entire freaking off season.
• 1:35:28
  Um,
• 1:35:30
  Julian Iford says,
• 1:35:31
  did you guys see the TTT podcast?
• 1:35:33
  Very informative.
• 1:35:34
  I did.
• 1:35:35
  I thought it was the closest
• 1:35:37
  representation to what I
• 1:35:38
  felt during the weekend of
• 1:35:39
  any podcast I watched.
• 1:35:41
  Yeah, I wondered how you felt about that.
• 1:35:44
  They literally, it felt,
• 1:35:47
  the way they explained it
• 1:35:48
  for themselves is how I
• 1:35:49
  felt that weekend.
• 1:35:51
  And so I really did enjoy that.
• 1:35:54
  I thought they did an amazing job.
• 1:35:55
  Is that the two hour one?

  It's Max and Perrin and Travis,
• 1:36:05
  who are three different
• 1:36:06
  people getting three
• 1:36:07
  different messages the entire weekend.
• 1:36:10
  I haven't listened to it.
• 1:36:12
  I'll have to take a listen.
• 1:36:14
  It's insane.
• 1:36:15
  The other recommendation I'll have is,
• 1:36:18
  if you have not watched
• 1:36:19
  Bethany Flores' account of the games,
• 1:36:22
  parts one and two,
• 1:36:24
  some of the most beautiful...
• 1:36:26
  content I've seen in years.
• 1:36:29
  And being a Christian,
• 1:36:31
  I really took hold of a lot of that.
• 1:36:33
  And it helped me get over a
• 1:36:35
  lot of what happened on the weekend.
• 1:36:37
  And so thank you, Bethany,
• 1:36:38
  for putting that together
• 1:36:40
  because it's helped me move
• 1:36:41
  on a little bit.
• 1:36:43
  And speaking of moving on,
• 1:36:45
  we have the Masters
• 1:36:46
  CrossFit Games this weekend,
• 1:36:47
  the first big major event
• 1:36:48
  since the tragedy.
• 1:36:50
  And I'm really hoping that
• 1:36:53
  the CrossFit community
• 1:36:54
  comes out for these Masters athletes.
• 1:36:56
  It's a live stream.
• 1:36:57
  It's something you can watch and enjoy.
• 1:36:59
  These athletes are what CrossFit's about.
• 1:37:03
  It's fighting off decrepitude.
• 1:37:05
  It's fighting off old age.
• 1:37:06
  These people are flipping age on its head,
• 1:37:09
  and you need to watch them
• 1:37:10
  and support what they're doing.
• 1:37:12
  They are taking the
• 1:37:13
  methodology to a new level.
• 1:37:15
  These are the people we need
• 1:37:16
  to root for right now.
• 1:37:18
  And whether it's the teams or the masters,
• 1:37:21
  go watch them, support them,
• 1:37:23
  put some eyes on the streams.
• 1:37:24
  They deserve a little bit of
• 1:37:26
  love this weekend.
• 1:37:27
  If you're in the area, go check it out.
• 1:37:30
  The price point to get into
• 1:37:31
  these events is way cheaper
• 1:37:32
  than the CrossFit Games.
• 1:37:34
  uh so go check them out um
• 1:37:36
  you need to do that and
• 1:37:38
  we'll be there doing our
• 1:37:39
  part with behind the scenes
• 1:37:40
  um and wrap up shows every
• 1:37:42
  day from the masters
• 1:37:43
  crossfit games and I cannot
• 1:37:44
  wait to tell the stories of
• 1:37:46
  these people they are just
• 1:37:47
